In the quiet accumulation of trust that defines great teams, Thomas Tuchel has named Declan Rice as England's vice-captain for the World Cup — a recognition less of ceremony than of character. The 27-year-old Arsenal midfielder, shaped by 72 international appearances and a season of rare club achievement, steps into a role that was already his in practice before it was his in name. Leadership, as it so often does, arrived not through announcement but through the simple act of being the one others turn to.
