Harry Kane's Bayern Munich team-mate appears to fire back at 'language' criticism from England boss Thomas Tuchel after firing Spain to Nations League victory over Switzerland

<p>Zaragoza joined Harry Kane and Co at Bayern Munich from Granada in January 2024, but his stay at Bayern was short-lived as he was sent out on loan to Osasuna for the 2024-25 campaign. The winger reportedly struggled to adjust to life in Germany, with new England boss Tuchel telling reporters before his departure from Allianz Arena: "He doesn’t understand the language. Both German and English are difficult for him, and that is basic. We brought forward the signing [from the summer] to save time with this. I knew it would be a very big step for him."</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>After returning to Spain this summer on a loan deal, the 23-year-old has had a fruitful start with Osasuna, having recorded five assists and a goal in 13 appearances for the club. He also scored the all-important final goal from the penalty spot in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bryan-zaragoza-rescue-bails-out-much-changed-spain-spirited-switzerland-chelse-robert-sanchez-fails-audition/blt1ce7b8ece60782eb" target="_blank">Spain's 3-2 win over Switzerland</a> in their last Nations League group-stage clash on Monday.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After starring for the European Champions, the player issued a fiery statement which has been construed as a reply to newly appointed England head coach Tuchel. Zaragoza told <a href="https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2024/11/18/el-brutal-zasca-de-bryan-zaragoza-a-thomas-tuchel-tras-su-exhibicion-al-futbol-se-juega-con-los-pies-no-con-el-idioma-cadena-ser/" target="_blank"><em>Caldena SER:</em></a> "Football is played with your feet, not with the language. I never lack the desire to represent my country. I was on the bench, I wanted to eat up the pitch, and I have shown it. My game is based on dribbling and every time I have the ball I try to do so. Taking the penalty was a show of personality."</p>

WHAT BRYAN ZARAGOZA SAID

<p>After spending years in club football, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/lee-carsley-backs-thomas-tuchel-win-world-cup-with-england-hand-over-three-lions-reigns-ex-chelsea-psg-boss/blt557143ff8377ec61" target="_blank">Tuchel has now turned his attention towards international football</a> as he was appointed as the Three Lions' new head coach last month.
