Thomas Tuchel reveals Djed Spence reaction after England clips go viral | OneFootball

Spurs defender was on end of head coach’s wrath in World Cup frustration

Thomas Tuchel has responded to the clip that shows him shouting at Djed Spence during England’s goalless draw with Ghana.

The England head coach was seen yelling at the left-back during the match in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Tuchel shouted: “Djed, Djed, Djed, give and go” at Spence, who was earning his first start of the tournament following a substitute appearance in the opening game against Croatia.

It followed a training session on Saturday in Kansas City in which Tuchel was again seen shouting at Spence.

Now, Tuchel has given his thoughts on whether he has been pleased with the performances of the 25-year-old full-back.

“Defensively, yes, but I wanted him to be more engaged in the attacking phase,” Tuchel said after the Ghana draw.

“I have to scream because nobody hears me otherwise,” Tuchel explained.

“It’s all good with Djed. We brought on [Nico] O’Reilly and it almost paid off with a header and a big chance for Harry [Kane].”
