‘Good Vibes In There': John Stones Opens Up On Dressing-room Prank That Fooled Tuchel
FIFA World Cup: England defender John Stones has revealed the story behind the dressing-room prank that left head coach Thomas Tuchel briefly fearing he had suffered a shoulder injury after England's 3-2 victory over Mexico at the FIFA World Cup.
Speaking ahead of England's quarterfinal against Norway, Stones admitted the joke was spontaneous, fuelled by the celebratory atmosphere inside the dressing room, and said he never expected the clip to become a social media sensation.
The now-viral footage showed Tuchel applauding with his players after the win before suddenly stopping as Stones appeared to clutch his shoulder in pain. As Declan Rice drew the coach's attention to the defender, Tuchel looked visibly concerned, only for Stones to burst into celebration moments later as his teammates erupted in laughter.
