In a recent interview with Sky Sports Germany, German soccer player Leno had an in-depth discussion on several topics. One of the first things he talked about was his decision to turn down a call-up to the German team. Leno said that the decision sparked widespread discussion and article coverage, which surprised him a bit. However, he emphasized that the communication with Nagelsmann was open and honest, without beating around the bush, so the overall situation is still good.
In addition, Leno spoke about how he feels about being captain of Fulham. He said that leading the team into the stadium was a special feeling and that he was immensely proud to be the captain. Playing in front of thousands of live spectators and millions of TV viewers has allowed him to realize his dream of turning a hobby into a job. He admits that life in England has also benefited him, and although his English still has a German accent, he has gradually adapted to the language, mentality and different culture of London.
Finally, Leno also addressed the topic of Tuchel as England manager. He believes that this is a very positive decision and points out that Tuchel, although criticized in Germany, is highly respected in England. He believes that the English will accept and appreciate Tuchel's coaching style, which is certainly good news for England. Leno also revealed that his club teammates had also asked him about the matter, and he responded by saying that "the Germans have taken over", expressing his expectation and confidence in Tuchel's coaching of the England team.
