Saka: Tuchel 'building something good' with England
Bukayo Saka feels blessed to get the chance to play at the World Cup, and feels England are on the right track under Thomas Tuchel.
Thomas Tuchel is overseeing "something good" with England, so says Bukayo Saka.
Tuchel took charge of England in January, and despite a somewhat underwhelming start to his tenure, the Three Lions have already secured their place at next year's World Cup.
England are the first European team to qualify for the tournament, which takes place in the United States, Canada and Mexico, while Tuchel is the first England manager to win his first six competitive matches without conceding a single goal.
Injury aside, Arsenal star Saka is highly likely to be a sure-fire pick for Tuchel's squad, and he is relishing the chance to feature at another World Cup.
And the 24-year-old feels Tuchel's England can achieve something special.
"I think he's a top coach, tactical understanding, and with the people as well, he's very demanding, and he knows how to get the best out of the players," Saka told Sky Sports.
"[He's] building something good.
"Every player in this country has the opportunity to be at the World Cup, and he's made it an environment where he's made it open to anyone. How much do you want it?
"How well can you perform? So it's a competitive environment, but I really believe he's going to get the best out of the players, and, at the end of the day, we're here for the country, trying to make the country win. That's what's in everyone's heads right now.
"I feel like if you work as a team, especially with the talent and quality that we've got, we can definitely go far in this World Cup."
England have now qualified for eight successive FIFA World Cup tournaments (since 1998).
And Saka suggested it can be taken for granted by English players that they regularly get the chance to compete at major international tournaments.
He said: "It's kind of overlooked in this country due to the talent that we have.
"It's kind of expected for us to make it so it's not really made a big deal of, but there's massive players, big players in the history of the game that have never played in a World Cup.
"It's amazing that we're going back there, and hopefully I get the chance to play in my second World Cup, and I can go further than I did in the last one."
England face Serbia and Albania in the November international window.
