After a seven-year break from the English national team, Loftus-Cheek played in a friendly match against Wales on Friday.

In an interview, Loftus-Cheek said, "We had some great times together at Chelsea, winning trophies. It's nice to be back in England with the manager. I know what he likes, what he wants and what he demands."

He continued, "It's great to be back playing under him. He's a very intelligent coach who studies his opponents well and gives us a clear picture of what to expect and how to approach the game."

Tuchel's approach to the game has been a positive influence on Loftus-Cheek and the team, who have been playing well in recent matches.
