England boss Tuchel not a fan of hydration breaks

England head coach Thomas Tuchel stated this week that he is not in favor of the hydration breaks implemented during the World Cup. Tuchel expressed his reservations about the breaks, suggesting they disrupt the flow of the game. The hydration breaks were introduced by FIFA as a measure to ensure player welfare during matches played in hot conditions. These breaks allow players to rehydrate and cool down, typically occurring around the 30-minute mark of each half. Despite the stated intention of player safety, Tuchel's comments indicate a differing perspective on their impact on the tactical and competitive aspects of football. The use of these breaks has been a point of discussion among coaches and analysts throughout the tournament.
