Thomas Tuchel can occasionally be careless with his words, like the time he said his mum found Jude Bellingham’s on-field behaviour “repulsive”. It provoked an apology and Tuchel blamed a slip of the tongue in his second language, even though his command of English is better than most of us writing up the story.
He rarely stops to think too hard about how the media will interpret his words, in the way his predecessor Gareth Southgate was so deliberate and precise.
