I know that it creates noise when you leave a player like Trent out. It's a sportive choice and a difficult choice.

Maybe it's unfair to a certain degree but these choices have to be made," tutur Thomas Tuchel.

Tanggapan Harry Maguire dan Jamie Carragher

Mantan bek Manchester United Harry Maguire, yang juga absen dari skuad Piala Dunia, ikut memberikan analisisnya mengenai langkah yang diambil oleh sang manajer lewat siniar The Rest is Football.

"When someone drops out like that, I do believe (with) the squad, you want to call up somebody with a minimum of fuss, no real media attention or disruption to the camp," kata Harry Maguire.

Maguire menilai bahwa kehadiran bintang besar seperti Alexander-Arnold dalam situasi darurat justru berpotensi memicu gangguan konsentrasi akibat sorotan media yang berlebihan menjelang laga penting.

"So I do believe when someone did get injured, I don't think Trent would've ever been called up because the questions and everything will be about him, if it's a big game, it's about Croatia.

If he called me up, it (the questions) would be about me, Luke Shaw the same, we've been to tournaments and play for big clubs, that's what you want when you bring someone up on standby.

Congratulations to Trevoh, I hope he has an impact on the squad," ujar Harry Maguire.

Legenda Liverpool Jamie Carragher turut memaparkan pandangannya mengenai perubahan gaya taktis Inggris di bawah asuhan pelatih asal Jerman tersebut melalui Sky Sports.
