""I told you - the long throw-in is back," Tuchel said. "But we do not have a lot of time. "But once we arrive at the World Cup, all these things matter, so we will also talk about long throw-ins, we will talk about long kicks from the goalkeeper and not only playing short.""
""But we cannot put everything into four days of training. But these things will matter. And let's see," Tuchel said. "I need to reflect now with my assistant coaches. All these patterns are back and crosses are back as well.""
Thomas Tuchel plans to add long throw-ins, long goalkeeper kicks, crosses and long-ball patterns to England's World Cup preparation. England top Group K with four wins from four, five points ahead of Serbia after Tuchel's side played fewer long balls in qualifying (4% of passes) than England at Euro 2024 (8.8%). Two qualifying matches were against Andorra. Tuchel has three more international breaks before pre-World Cup friendlies to work with players but acknowledges limited training time. Long throws have become a larger feature in English football. Tuchel's England contract runs until after the World Cup.
