Fans, whether it’s genuine belief or misplaced bravado, always expect the team to be successful. Football doesn’t work like that, as the Three Lions are rarely the standout side heading into tournaments.
Taking the ridiculous level of expectation and adding Tuchel to the mix could spell disaster. Under Southgate, even when possessing one of the best squads on paper, England always looked a little shy; under Tuchel, whose brain is always ticking, it feels like there’s a greater shot at winning a trophy.
England fans will know that feeling. Expectation builds even at the worst of times, so with a genuinely top-class coach now in charge, we might hear “It’s Coming Home” head into overdrive.
