The former Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich boss has said: \u201cIt\u2019s my job now to make contact with everyone, players like Trent. Players that are on our longlist, 55, 60 players, to reach out to them, be in touch with them, explain to them why they were not here. Explain to them what they have to do, where they can improve. Can they even do something or is it just a choice? So this is my job in the next weeks and months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hate phone calls. Better on FaceTime. Then I see the expression, at least, and get a feeling for the person. Or I need to visit them, visit training, training grounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can do group visits. We can do Jude [Bellingham] and Trent. And visit the clubs. And some of them we will call. Let\u2019s see. I think it\u2019s important that I reach out to everyone, even to the guys we didn\u2019t pick so regularly to tell them where they are and give them honest feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After heading to the United States, England will take in pre-tournament friendly dates with New Zealand and Costa Rica in Florida. A quest for a first major trophy in the men\u2019s game since 1966 will be opened against Croatia on June 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tuchel has previously vowed to speak with as many World Cup hopefuls as possible before settling on his&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304373,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[4027,444,148690,85,46,153242,3157,4030,153240,4029,105,30070,153241],"class_list":{"0":"post-304372","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-chelsea","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-h-maguire","11":"tag-il","12":"tag-israel","13":"tag-k-walker","14":"tag-manchester-united","15":"tag-newcastle-united","16":"tag-r-james","17":"tag-real-madrid","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-t-alexander-arnold","20":"tag-v-livramento"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304372"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304372\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304372"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
