Rushford scored seven goals in 10 matches for the Catalan club this season and made four assistants. According to Sky Sports News, Tuhal emphasizes that these figures are not yet corresponding to what he is able to show:
“He can become one of the best in the world – he has everything: technique, speed, head. But the numbers do not yet reach his potential. He needs to score more and create moments. Otherwise he can regret lost time in ten years.”
The British coach notes that it maintains regular communication with Rushford and indicates the need for constant competition for a place in the start:
“If he comes from the first minutes or replacement, he has to show what he can. I feel it, I see him daily in training. But potential is a dangerous word: it is important to confirm every day that you are a worthy place in the team.”
Tuhal also noted that Rashford is still young and has time for mistakes – but there should be a lot of them. He believes that there is a critical stage in his career now for Marcus:
“The main task is to work on the border. It has a very high bar, higher than others. You need to not lose this chance.”
Today, at 21:45, England will hold an next qualification match at the 2026 World Cup against Latvia.
