"He has the potential to grow into a world-class player." He is a player with no limits. But...."
Thomas Tuchel, the head coach of England's national football team, said of Marcus Rashford 'controversial striker', acknowledging his potential to grow into a'world-class player' but pointing out that he needs to develop further in one key area to establish himself as a true world-class player. He warned against ending his career with regrets of "'I wish I could have done this.'"
Rashford was excluded from the Euro 2024 England squad last summer but made a comeback to the national team when Tuchel made his first call-up list in March. Currently on loan from Barcelona, he has gradually regained his former form on the La Liga stage since losing Manchester United's main position under Ruben Amorim.
Rashford is on the rise with three goals and five assists in 10 matches he played in Barcelona. Coach Tuchel emphasized the importance of consistency, saying, "He will have to continue this trend so that he can fully demonstrate his talents." In January, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim criticized Rashford for not doing his best every day.
Coach Tuchel said in an interview on the 14th (Korea time), "I think Rashford's limit is very high, a day before the World Cup qualifying round against Latvia, which will confirm his trip to the North-China World Cup finals. Maybe it's higher than the other players. However, the word 'potential' is a very dangerous concept in high-level sports. What's important is to be consistent with your highest level, and that's the challenge he's facing."
Tuchel said "It's not a matter of talent. It's a question of how consistently the club and the national team prove that talent. "You have to achieve your personal best on a regular basis. That's what's required in a game at this level, and that's the challenge he's given. He can be one of the best in the world. It's because of his quality I witnessed in training, his ability to finish with both feet and a header. Explosive, fast, and strong in aerial ball competition. So where's the limit? There is no limit. However, the current record is just not keeping up with its potential. That's all there is to it.
Tuchel also stressed that Rashford was still young and could make the right choice in his career, but he also delivered a warning message: "'Otherwise you'll regret what you've been able to achieve and what you've actually achieved in 10 years.'"
