England's Tuchel says calls for rotation are 'madness'

England's players and the clubs they play for should not be allowed to pick and choose which games they feature ​in during the international break, manager Thomas Tuchel said.

England will ‌play four Nations League matches during the extended international window. Tuchel's side lost to World Cup champions Spain on Saturday in the first of those games.

They ​next visit the Czech Republic on Tuesday and Croatia on ​Saturday, before playing the Czechs again at home on ⁠October 6, with the packed schedule leading to calls for some ​players who had short summer breaks due to the World Cup ​to be rested.

Asked if any club managers had reached out to him, Tuchel told reporters: "I don't take calls from Premier League managers. I never called any ​national team coach (when he was in club football).

"I cannot manage (the minutes ​of) the players. It's just impossible. Why would I do this and start ‌giving ⁠the players the impression that it's OK to take a step back or share a half or to rest one match? I would never. It's madness.

"We want to win the next match... An ​ideal scenario would be ​to go ⁠again and go again and go again. With six or seven players minimum that start again – to ​put the responsibility on them and for them ​to feel ⁠the trust."

Tuchel said his team would go all out against the Czech Republic in Tuesday's match at the Fortuna Arena in Prague, adding: "We ⁠need ​to be proactive.

"There is no room for ​managing (the players) or an economic style. It's how the team want to play, how ​we want to play, so let's go."
