Leboeuf: England s chances at next year s World Cup are not out of the question, but they are not as good as other teams

Hupu November 17 News Recently, former Chelsea defender and French international Leboeuf talked about his views on the England team in an interview with OLBG.

Leboeuf said: "I actually admire Tuchel, but I think that a football powerhouse like England does not need a German coach to help them win the World Cup. From a purely cultural perspective, it is difficult for me to accept this choice."

"In the same way, I would not be happy if the French national team hired an English coach. We had a foreign coach in the 1960s, maybe a Romanian. I always I finally believe that the national team coach of a powerful football country should be a local. "I expressed dissatisfaction when Tuchel was appointed as the head coach of the England team. With all due respect, it would be a good thing for Tuchel and the English Football Association if he could really lead the team to win the World Cup. But in my opinion, the England national team will always have problems at some point."

When asked how to evaluate England. When asked about his team's World Cup prospects next summer, Leboeuf said: "That's why I say 'wait and see'. That's why I would rank Portugal, Spain, Argentina and France ahead of England."

"No one can deny the talent of the England team, and if they can work together, everything will go well. The biggest problem faced by previous England managers is that in the past - especially in the era when I played - the club "It was much more important than the national team."

"It was difficult for the players to develop a tacit understanding because they were competing against each other every week in club competitions. Now the situation has improved a little, and it seems that they understand each other and are willing to play together."

"So, the England team is not without a chance. But for now, I don't think their level is as high as the other popular teams."
