England’s head coach Thomas Tuchel warned his players about the risk of receiving a red card ahead of the match against Albania in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
«Please, no red cards. If absolutely necessary, we can, of course, grab an opponent’s shirt if they’re breaking away, but when in doubt, it’s wiser not to do so. I don’t want to emphasize this too much because then we’ll feel pressured. Normally, we don’t take risks, but if anyone has a choice, don’t do it,» Tuchel’s words are quoted by the Independent.
