England manager Thomas Tuchel has dismissed calls for player rotation during the upcoming Nations League matches, stating that such an approach would be 'madness'.
Tuchel's team is set to play four matches during the extended international window, including visits to Spain, the Czech Republic, and Croatia.
The manager, who previously managed in the Premier League, said he would not take calls from club managers regarding player availability.
Tuchel believes that resting players who had short summer breaks due to the World Cup would undermine the team's performance and spirit.
He stated, 'We want to win the next match… An ideal scenario would be to go again and go again and go again. With six or seven players minimum that start again – to put the responsibility on them and for them to feel the trust.'
The manager emphasized the importance of continuity, saying, 'There is no room for managing (the players) or an economic style. It’s how the team want to play, how we want to play, so let’s go.'
Tuchel's side will face the Czech Republic in Prague on Tuesday, followed by matches against Croatia and the Czech Republic again at home on October 6.
Despite the packed schedule, Tuchel remains committed to his strategy, stating, 'We need to be proactive.'
We want to win the next match… An ideal scenario would be to go again and go again and go again. With six or seven players minimum that start again – to put the responsibility on them and for them to feel the trust.
