The victory is there, England has successfully opened the qualifications for the next World Cup, but there is no reason for satisfaction. The only positive aspect is the result. Nothing and no one impressed Thomas Tuchel.The Three Lions opened the scoring on time through Arsenal’s gem, Myles Lewis-Skelly, but the hosts struggled in the final third of the field. They easily reached it, but didn’t know what to do with the ball, how to break the block, and deliver it to Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, or Jude Bellingham. Too few entries into the box and crosses into the six-yard area. There was a lack of aggressiveness and dribbles that didn’t succeed.Professional performance 💫 #ThreeLions | @Chase pic.twitter.com/gUxAhOWA2v— England (@England) March 22, 2025 All in all, Thomas Tuchel was dissatisfied with England’s performance in his debut.”We weren’t disciplined. We tried too much off the ball,” said Thomas Tuchel, beginning to list the things that bothered him and didn’t sit well with him: “In the opponent’s half, our play was fluid, but only until we got to the last 20 meters. We need to take more risks with passes behind the defense.” Still, he believes things will improve over time.First game.

We need to find a rhythm. We will get better, and over time, we’ll understand each other better. I will also understand the players better,” emphasized Thomas Tuchel. Jude Bellingham wasn’t particularly impressed either, as the hosts waited too long for the second goal, which came from Harry Kane, sealing the victory.JUDE BELLINGHAM WHAT AN ASSIST pic.twitter.com/LX6NyEnLI4— َ (@rmngifs) March 21, 2025 “We had a clear idea of what we wanted to do and how to play,” Jude Bellingham said, adding: “It’s tough against a team that stands so deep. In general, we stuck to the plan, and we trained well during the week. The more we’re together, the more we’ll learn. It’s good that we won at the start of a new era.”##NAJAVA_MECA_8798975##
