It turns out that it is not his new German manager Thomas Tuchel what England players could have difficulty understanding this week.
Burnley's goalkeeper James Trafford, who comes from Cockermouth, revealed that he and his fellow Cumbrian Dean Henderson are thick as thieves in the camp of the three lions and talk about 'things of the north that nobody else knows'.
Chippy tea, an adequate beer and the gloomy climate?
“I get along very well with Deano,” Trafford said at St George's Park on Tuesday. “We talked a lot, inside or outside the camp, and it was really good when they called me, it means that there was someone from my area, because we are different in the north.”
There is a bit of North-South division in the current Squadron of England with 11 of the 26 players in the Tuchel group for the World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia, welcoming from the north.
There are nine southerners (soft), four of the defender of Midlands and Crystal Palace Marc Guehi, who was born on the Ivory coast but moved to London.

“He is someone with the same Craic, really,” Trafford said about his friendship with Henderson. 'We go to the same gym when we are at home. We can talk about things from the north that no one else knows because we are both from the area '.
Trafford grew on his family farm in Cumbria, still directed by his parents Alison and James SNR, and was going to be a footballer or farmer.
He helped give birth to the lambs and made his fair part of Mucking Out. Every time he goes home, he still likes to get his hands dirty. Being a football in England does not acquit it from daily tasks.
“Whenever I am not always busy I try to go home and spend time with my teammates and spend time with my family and simply do things on the farm, with my mother and my dad, what I enjoy doing,” he said.
“They don't see us anything in football at home, they just see us for the boy they knew growing!”
In the field, meanwhile, their mischief have been much less dirty. Trafford has granted only 11 goals in the championship this season, spending more than 1,000 minutes without leaving a goal, on its way to keep 26 clean leaves so far.
He is so proud of his northern roots that Trafford insisted on the suggestion that came from the same city as England's test captain Ben Stokes, who spent much of his childhood in Cockermouth after his family emigrated in New Zealand.
“Ben Stokes is not Cockermouth,” Trafford said in his typical inexpressive delivery. 'He moved there when he was 12 years old.'
