Tuchel, having a candid outlook on things, recently commented on the extraordinary omission of Benjamin White from England.

Who does he think can deliver that game plan within that system? “It’s not about individual talent alone, it’s about how those talents mesh together into the overall strategy,” Tuchel stated. So, on this rationale, maybe White was intentionally left out for the manager. To bring in players who were, for the style that was intended to be put forward. More suitable from the standpoint of versatility, skill set, or perhaps adaptability in ever-changing game situations.
Role of Form and Consistency in the Attainment of a Cap for Benjamin White
Lastly, and certainly not the least, form and consistency were also cited by Tuchel as being decisive. He admitted that probably the talent pool was quite big. To include Benjamin White in the category, but Tuchel felt that you had to maintain. Top form for quite a while in international football. “International football is unforgiving,” he said. “You need players who can give their best every single week.” He perhaps meant that the players who were chosen. Could have been in better form or shown greater consistency. Just a little nearer the time when the squad was being chosen. Now, this is indeed important because of even a slight dip. In form can very well hamper one’s prospects of selection into a team.
Competition and Squad Dynamics for Benjamin White
He says that there are quite several world-class players in that team all hustling for one place. “The competition is fierce,” he said. “Every position is contended for and the manager has to make hard decisions.” In other words, he was saying that White may well have been eclipsed by others who were deemed. Able to give the squad a better balance or who had certain traits the manager wished to emphasize. Be it experience, leadership qualities, or aptitude for delivering when it counts in the clutch moments.
