Tuchel explained that Toney deserved a call-up due to his impressive performances this season, including scoring over 20 goals for his team and winning the Asian Champions League. He also emphasized the importance of testing new players and giving them a chance to shine in the environment.

Tuchel also discussed the Club World Cup and the potential risks of players leaving the squad early to avoid exhaustion and injury. He argued that the team needs to be together and build a sense of camaraderie, and that sending players away would send the wrong signal to the group.

In another notable decision, Tuchel chose to include Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah in his squad, despite Marc Guehi being injured. Tuchel praised Chalobah's consistent performances this season and felt he deserved a chance to join the team.

Finally, Tuchel addressed the question of where Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold would play in the team, given his impending move to Real Madrid. Tuchel confirmed that Alexander-Arnold's preferred position is right full-back, and that he is excited to have him on board.

Tuchel expressed his positive views on Alexander-Arnold's unique playing style and his involvement in Liverpool's recent success. He is looking forward to having him in the team and believes he will bring a special energy to the group.
