Tuchel to Rashford: you have to be one of the best in the world.

Thomas Tuchel demands more from Rashford

According to The Sun: The England head coach Thomas Tuchel has addressed Marcus Rashford, warning him that he is not using his potential and has the chance to become "one of the best in the world".

Tuchel is confident that Rashford, who has scored only one penalty in seven matches for his team, must show better results - both in goals and assists.

England has a chance to secure a spot in the World Cup if they beat Latvia on Tuesday, and Tuchel believes Rashford can take his place on the big stage only if he finds greater consistency.

“He can be one of the best in the world, as I see his quality in training, his accuracy with both feet and head. He is impressive, quick, and strong in the air, so what are his limits? There are none,' Tuchel noted.

“But his statistics do not match his potential, that is clear. He needs to be involved in goal moments, and that includes both goals and assists.”

“The limit for him is very high. Perhaps higher than for others. He has the potential, but potential is a dangerous word in high-level sports.'

During his time at Barcelona, Rashford scored three goals and provided five assists, and the club wishes to make his deal permanent.

It is likely that Rashford's critical remarks about Manchester United are related to him having “suffered from an unstable atmosphere for a long time.”

However, Tuchel believes that much more can be demanded from the 27-year-old player:

“Marcus creates many moments, but for the quality and finishing we see in training, he simply does not score enough, so that is the next step.”

Tuchel also emphasized that Rashford has the opportunity to make the right decisions to avoid regrets in the future.

“I can feel for him, and I think that my support as an English coach can help him.”

So far, it is unknown whether Rashford will be able to realize his potential in upcoming matches, but it is clear that his abilities will be an important factor for the national team's successful performance at the championship. Coach Tuchel hopes the player finds a way to stability and achieves the goal of becoming one of the best.
