Martin Ziegler: 作为英格兰队的主教练，图赫尔被允许灵活地往返德国探望家人，但这引发了关于他是否需要亲自到场观看所有比赛的质疑。虽然理解他想兼顾家庭，但人们也在讨论他是否应该更多地关注球队的实际情况，而不是远程工作。如果他能带领英格兰队取得好成绩，这些争议自然会平息。 John Cross: 我认为关于聘请外国教练执教英格兰队一直存在争议，尤其是当这位教练的家不在英格兰时。虽然图赫尔观看了大量的英超比赛，但他同时也在关注其他联赛的球员，比如米兰德比和马德里德比。这引发了关于他是否应该将更多精力放在英格兰本土联赛的讨论。不过，如果他能在18个月内带领球队赢得世界杯，这些质疑都会烟消云散。 Dave Fulton: 自新冠疫情以来，居家办公变得越来越普遍，甚至足球教练也开始采用这种模式。虽然图赫尔的薪水很高，但他能否成功将决定一切。如果他能赢得世界杯，那么他所有的工作方式都会被人们接受。

Martyn Ziegler of The Times and John Cross of The Mirror look ahead to tomorrow’s back pages and they begin with Thomas Tuchel’s arrangement with the FA that allows him to stay in Germany for some Premier League matchweeks. John talks about how impressive Florian Wirtz is, after rumours that Manchester City are interested in the player. Could he be the replacement they may need for Kevin De Bruyne? Staying in Manchester, it’s thought that Casemiro wants to see out his contract at United. Heung-min Son has also stuck up for his team mate James Maddison, after criticism from Roy Keane. Then attention is turned to Everton’s new stadium, after fans got to experience it for the first time during a test event and finally Virgil van Dijk tells fans to enjoy the ride in the title race, with some tricky fixtures ahead.
