Extreme caution
England officials have decided to delay the arrival of the team delegation in the Mexican capital of Mexico City in a surprise move to reschedule their World Cup matches to avoid spies following their closed training sessions, amid expectations that the delegation will be subjected to severe harassment.
The British newspaper “The Sun” reports.Manager Thomas Tuchel and his assistants are concerned about the possibility of their tactical plans being revealed through a spying incident similar to the Spyjet incident that saw a Southampton employee sacked during an English Premier League qualifier last May when he was caught spying on Middlesbrough training.
The paper confirmed it The England manager is determined to put the finishing touches to his strategic plan In complete secrecy, preparing for the upcoming match against Mexico in the 1/8 finals.
In the same context, Tuchel and the senior officials of the national team camp decided to return to their training base in Kansas City after the two-goal victory over the Democratic Republic of Congo last Wednesday.
At the tournament, England’s HQ will see heavy patrols by police and security to ensure there are no people behind the bushes surrounding the stadium.
Technical director Thomas Tuchel aims to take advantage of this safe atmosphere to finalize the specifics of the official squad and the tactical method by which he will face this tough test at the Azteca Stadium.
The Three Lions delegation will arrive in Mexico on Friday, just two days before the game is expected to kick off.
The move comes after England were accustomed to arriving in the cities that hosted their first four World Cup matches just a day before the game, the shortest period allowed by FIFA, but Tuchel prefers to give his players more time to adapt to the difficult environment of the next match.
England officials are carefully examining all factors affecting the game, including the possibility that the delegation will be subjected to “severe harassment and major disruption” on the night before the game.
Ecuador’s football federation lodged a formal complaint with FIFA after Mexican fans ran riot outside their team’s hotel, depriving the visitors of sleep and rest, before they lost with two goals in the round of 32.
England are preparing to face similar crowd chaos, but have already taken highly proactive steps to avoid a repeat of this worrying scenario.
The British “The Athletic” network has found out that a security chain will be established and barriers will be created on the roads surrounding the three lions team’s residence hotel, which is located in a top secret location.
FIFA allows these security barriers to be set up on roads after a case-by-case review, and England’s request to protect its players was approved after horns and drums from Mexican fans previously angered Ecuador’s delegation.
