Rooney's Notes Reveal Approval of Tuchel's Instinct
Chapman noted that Rooney had written down Tuchel's comment about Rogers' selection being based on a 'feeling.' Tuchel handed Rogers a surprise start over Bukayo Saka on the right flank after the 23-year-old's impressive cameo in the quarter-final win against Norway.
Rooney explained: "I like that. Normally managers look at tactically how they want to play and how fresh the players are and how ready they are. But I think that top managers go on a feeling." He added that Tuchel clearly believes Rogers can have a big impact on the game.
