  "account": "Thomas Tuchel's apparent lack of trust in Trent Alexander-Arnold has been a defining feature of his tenure as England head coach. The 27-year-old right-back has won a Premier League title with Liverpool and played for Real Madrid since his last appearance for England. Alexander-Arnold was left out of England's World Cup squad despite the right-back position being one that has always been cursed for Tuchel. This made it appear that regardless of any concerns the German had about that position, Alexander-Arnold would never be the answer. The coach's decision to recall Alexander-Arnold for this Nations League camp came as a surprise. After his start against the Czech Republic, Alexander-Arnold delivered a world-class moment that might convince his coach to trust him more. The defender, now officially known as \"Trent,\" had already made a 70-yard run into an attacking position and, when the move broke down, regained possession before delivering a magnificent right-foot delivery that led to Anthony Gordon's header. Tuchel praised Alexander-Arnold's performance, stating that he did very well and had an excellent assist. Alexander-Arnold, in turn, expressed his gratitude and expressed his belief that he can play for England.",
