Boss wants to feel love from Lions

THOMAS TUCHEL wants to feel the LOVE from his players every time they pull on an England shirt.

Tuchel has spent his week talking to the squad about brotherhood, family and pulling in the same direction ahead of their World Cup qualifiers with Andorra and Serbia.

The Three Lions boss admits the last get-together in June was an anticlimax, when some players struggled to “restart their engines” as England laboured to a narrow away win to Andorra then got thumped by Senegal.

It was a wake-up call for Tuchel who delivered a clear warning that no-one can take their place for granted.

Tuchel said: “It comes down to this - does the group have the right energy together and love to play for England? Or do they just like to play for England?
