England’s new director Thomas Tuchel is a “winner,” says Albanian coach Sylvinho as they prepare to meet at Wembley.
Arsenal’s former defender Sylvinho is responsible for Tuchel’s first game as a boss of England and is jealous of the wealth available to the young man.
“Thomas Tuchel is a good coach. He is young. He is a winner and he has a lot of energy,” the former full width said.
“No matter if he plays back three or four. We’re waiting for something. But I’m not going to talk too much.
“He was more afraid of leaving the tournament than having the excitement and hunger to win it” 👀

“They are the players on the pitch and we don’t care about the system. We are interested in players. They have great players who can play one against one who are strong and natural, technicians and high quality.
“They have a big side. We should try to do something special in the defensive and offensive place and try to put them in a problem.”
18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly received a maiden superior call from Tuchel after a season revolution at Arsenal under Mikel Arteta.
Albanian leader Sylvinho expects that the Hale End Academy graduate will have a successful career in his former club.
“He’s a good player. I like when the new players come from the national team and start playing in a team like Arsenal,” he added.
“It’s good. A great player and has a great future.”
