Tuchel, who has previously been harshly critical of Rashford, appears to have softened his stance following Rashford&#8217;s performance against Uruguay, which could increase his chances of earning him a starting spot at the World Cup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Last October, Tuchel issued a frank warning to the Manchester United outcast, casting doubt on his ability to develop as a world-class talent. &#8220;Possibility is a dangerous word in high-level sport, because you have to reach personal bests on a regular basis. That&#8217;s what you need at this kind of level, and that&#8217;s the challenge for him. It&#8217;s not about talent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The comments came ahead of England&#8217;s victory in Latvia, where Anthony Gordon started and found the back of the net in a 5-0 rout, while Rashford was conspicuously relegated to the bench.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>However, manager Tuchel chose to start Rashford against Uruguay after being impressed by his dedication and application during training.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The German said: &#8220;He tries. He tries hard. He hasn&#8217;t started a game for a long time. So I talked to him and I gave him this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>\u201cI was very impressed with his training yesterday, it was a defensive training and he was very strong with Jed Spence on his side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;He understands how to press for us. He worked hard and I think he worked very hard. He probably can&#8217;t score the goals he needs with confidence. I&#8217;m happy with the way he tries and it was always a threat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Rashford&#8217;s most recent goal for England came against Serbia last September.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Nevertheless, he is now back in Tuchel&#8217;s favor, with Dominic Solanke also praised along with James Garner, and his versatility (he can play at right-back and midfield) could make him a candidate for second-half selection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Everton manager David Moyes has been an outspoken supporter of Garner, with Tuchel also showing a huge interest in the player.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"photo changeSpace\">\n<p class=\"withoutCaption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/6830716.jpg?r=1774774649585\" alt=\"England manager had special praise for Rashford after the match against Uruguay\" title=\"England manager had special praise for Rashford after the match against Uruguay\" width=\"590\" height=\"393\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"newsCaption\">England manager had special praise for Rashford after the match against Uruguay <span class=\"caption\">(Image: Eddie Keogh &#8211; The FA via Getty Images)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>England went into the match against Uruguay as an audition, feeling that their individual performances were more important than the overall result.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Tuchel has suggested he got exactly what he was looking for from the match against Uruguay and the training sessions leading up to it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Players were expected to stake their rights before established stars returned to play against Japan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Tuchel said, &#8220;I can tell you that I was looking forward to that match. We practiced well and the group was full of energy, so I was looking forward to it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;We said this to the group today: Do we expect everything to be perfect? \u200b\u200bWell, it probably is, because we always do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;But we are smart enough to understand. Players playing for the first time will be nervous and there will be a lot of information to absorb in the last few days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;So it&#8217;s probably going to take some time and the opponents know what they&#8217;re doing. They&#8217;re playing in their best formation, so just keep moving forward and stay positive, and they did that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;I really liked this group. I was excited to coach them. I was so happy when I got to coach them. It looked like we won, but it was good. It was good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Express sports on FB!
