November 8th: England coach Tuchel was interviewed recently. He stated that he is open to coaching the Three Lions until the 2028 European Cup on home soil.

Tuchel's current contract is only signed until the end of next year's World Cup. He said: "If the Football Association is satisfied with me, it is always possible to stay, but the current focus is on this training session. This job is full of fun, especially in the last two training sessions. We have made good progress. There is no news yet, but I am very satisfied with the current situation. I believe the Football Association is also happy with the current trajectory, but I need to continue to prove The rest will take care of itself."

"I am currently in a good state of mind because I love this team, value the support of the Football Association, and recognize the direction of the team's development. We still have time to consider the contract extension."

Before taking over the England coaching job, Tuchel had 18 years of club coaching experience. He added: "Years of experience have allowed me to understand what brings happiness and inspires the best. Now I have regained my energy and enjoy the feeling of working with the players and being close to the Premier League. I know that the level of trust and support I have received is very important for me to maintain my best condition. Now everything is ready, and I feel at ease. "

"Initially, I took the initiative to promote a short-term contract to focus on the World Cup, because the current focus was still on the World Cup. The FA knows how satisfied I am, and they feel it too. It is their support that keeps me in shape."

When asked whether he would rule out the possibility of renewing his contract before the World Cup, Tuchel responded: "Of course not, but it is not a mandatory requirement."

In addition, Tuchel emphasized that he had no bad blood with Bellingham, and he recalled the Real Madrid midfielder to the squad this time. Tuchel has repeatedly emphasized that he expects players to be good teammates. In June, he even revealed that his mother found some of Bellingham's on-field behavior "disgusting" and said that Bellingham could "intimidate teammates."

But Tuchel said this time: "There is no problem between us, and there is no problem with his character. Jude just has an edge, which is exactly the trait needed to reach his current height. What we need to do is to help guide him and create an atmosphere that allows him to direct this edge towards opponents and team goals, making it an active weapon for us."

Regarding the decision not to call Bellingham in October, Tuchel explained that this was more of a message to the selected players. News: "This is more for the training players rather than Bellingham, because there is no need for him. This is to tell the selected players: Even important players like Bellingham and Foden are eager to return to the team, so you have to work hard to keep your position. Now that they have returned, the current signal is to ensure the continuation of the existing system and accelerate the running-in process. We have established a good foundation. The team is excited for your return, but the core requirement is that you must contribute to the England team '."
