This is shite.
He’s been picked because Tuchel clearly leans towards certain profiles to fit his team. He doesn’t want the most talented players, he’s said this. He wants the ones that fit his system.
I don’t much rate Spence. I think he’s inconsistent and limited. But he’s very fast and strong 1v1 and versatile. Tuchel loves these traits. It’s fuck all to do with his religion.
+ to this, Spence got called up first when in good form. He impressed Tuchel during that camp. Clearly Tuchel has based his selection largely on players who did well then & he wants the same consistency and ethos he got from the squad in qualifiers.
It really doesn’t require bullshit conspiracy theories.
