As the football community buzzes with anticipation over Thomas Tuchel's upcoming England squad announcement, there's much speculation about potential surprise inclusions. Among the names being tossed around, Myles Lewis-Skelly stands out as a hot topic. The young footballer, known for his aggressive style and dynamic presence on the field, is being touted by many as ready for the senior squad. However, a closer look at his current form and discipline suggests that patience might be the best approach.
Lewis-Skelly's talent is undeniable. His ability to push forward, aligning with Tuchel's preference for attacking full-backs, makes him a fitting candidate for the system the manager wants to implement. Yet, his recent performances, particularly in the Champions League against PSV, have raised some concerns regarding his maturity. An incident that could have seen him sent off early in the game is a stark reminder of the discipline issues that still haunt his game.
It's crucial to understand that transitioning to senior international play is a significant step up – one that demands not just skill, but also a level of mental and tactical maturity that Lewis-Skelly is still developing. With England facing critical games, the focus should be on fielding the most cohesive and disciplined team possible, rather than experimenting with unseasoned talent in high-stakes situations.
There's no need to rush Lewis-Skelly into the senior setup. Further honing his skills at the club level and in the under-21s will serve him well. It isn't about curbing his potential but about timing his introduction to the national team to coincide with him reaching a more refined stage of personal and professional development.
Despite the current reservations, the future looks bright for Lewis-Skelly. With more experience and a focus on improving his discipline, he could very well become a key player for England. For now, though, giving him time to mature appears to be the best course of action for both the player and the national team.
In closing, let's lighten the mood with a bit of friendly rivalry humor: Why don't Spurs fans play hide and seek? Because good luck hiding when you haven't won a trophy in years!
