Thomas Tuchel has expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of the England national team.
England beat Andorra 1-0 in the third round of Group K of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier held at Estadi Korneya-El Prat in Barcelona, Spain at 1 a.m. on Saturday (Korea time). With three wins, England firmly maintained its lead in Group K.
England dominated the game all the time. Jude Bellingham's shot in the first minute marked the start of the match, and Nhoni Madueke continued his offensive. It was a decisive scoring moment in the 18th minute, but it was canceled when Harry Kane missed it.
England's offensive continued in the second half. Then, they finally opened the scoring at five minutes into the second half. Kane took a shot during the attack, which resulted from Curtis Jones' through pass, but was blocked by the keeper. However, Madueke displayed concentration and secured a second ball to pass, and Kane took the lead without missing a second chance.
That was it. England tried to attack until the end, but it did not lead to a finishing touch. In the third minute of extra time in the second half, Madueke succeeded in putting his foot on Gibbs-White's cross, but the game ended as it did not gain strength.
The match leaves much to be desired for England. Against Andorra, who is ranked 183rd in FIFA rankings, he took 83 percent of possession and fired 20 shots, but managed to score only one point. In fact, according to Football Association, the expected score (xG) of England reached 3.35. When the whistle blew, fans booed him.
In response, Tuchel said in a post-match press conference, "I am not satisfied with today's performance. The first 20 to 25 minutes were the only time I could feel that a goal is coming soon." We lost track and couldn't recover it for the rest of the first half. During the first 15 minutes of the second half, he seemed to regain some momentum, but the game ended up lacking completely. The team lacked all the tension, quality and energy. It was just such a game. We have to admit that we did not meet the expectations and we have to do better."
"The last 20 minutes of the game I was most worried about was the attitude of finishing the game. "I felt as if I had no choice but to play the game. This is a World Cup qualifying match. I cannot accept this kind of attitude. I have already delivered it to the players in the locker room. Now I will analyze the game in detail and deliver exactly what we want to the players tomorrow." 온라인카지노
