Tuchel’s primary concern is that Anderson maintains the personality traits that brought him to this level. The German coach remains hopeful that a potential move to the Etihad Stadium won’t change the 23-year-old’s grounded nature as he prepares for the biggest tournament of his career.
Addressing the intense speculation and the astronomical figures being discussed, Tuchel elaborated on the situation, saying: “Even if – if – a transfer is completed, hopefully he stays the same person. Nothing will change overnight with him; if he wakes up, he’s not a new player. People will try to hang around his neck, but in reality, nothing changes; he just changes the club, and those are the rules of the game. Hopefully he just stays the same – a humble, determined, hungry football player.”
