Tuchel not only watched the Club World Cup, but also visited the training base and communicated with some English players, such as Kane, and Manchester City and Chelsea players, who discussed similar issues that England might encounter next summer, including local hot weather and feelings about the game environment. Tuchel also inspected some possible training bases to prepare for next year's World Cup match. Another concern for Tuchel is the rest of England players after the Club World Cup, which will affect their next World Cup qualifiers with Andorra and Serbia. Next year's World Cup will be under a lot of pressure for England, which is one of the reasons why Tuchel flies to the United States.
He had considered flying to Slovakia to watch the England U21 team after watching the Club World Cup group stage in the United States. The Three Lions youth team won the U21 European Cup championship. Tuchel also appeared at Wimbledon recently, and after England's match against Senegal last month, he said he planned to do some work related to England in the United States "off-and-off".
Given the climatic conditions of next year's World Cup, England may choose Miami as the training site so that players can adapt to the hot weather. In addition, Kansas training facilities are under their considerations, and Dallas is also an alternative location. However, FIFA may want teams to travel across the United States in a wide range during the late game stage, rather than being fixed in one place as before.
Former Canadian coach Heardman said that the 2026 World Cup will be challenging for European teams: "This tournament will be extremely difficult. I have accumulated some experience while working in North America. I hope to share it with as many people as possible. In the past, I tried to make the players resilient as much as possible in the process of preparing for the game, but sometimes you also want some chaos so that they can truly adapt and deal with the test."
