First defeat for Thomas Tuchel as England coach: the 1: 3 against Senegal excited in England. The sound is clear in the press.
Thomas Tuchel received his first setback with England’s national team. At the test game against Senegal, the team of the German coach in Nottingham lost 1: 3 – and revealed blatant weaknesses. Harry Kane had initially brought England in the lead, but then the Africa Cup winner made the game impressively. Already during the game it got restless in the stadium, whistles accompanied the disappointing performance of the hosts.
After the tedious 1-0 victory against Andorra, Tuchel is now under pressure. The expectations of the former Chelsea and Bayern coaches are great, but the previous appearances give rise to concern. The English press has already commented on the game and performance of the team.
The Times: “If the miserable 1-0 against Andorra was the end of the honeymoon for Tuchel on Saturday, some fans already demanded divorce after this game. One called ‘Tuchel out’ towards the press revenge, and mocking memes circulated on social networks. The players went to the fans – not.”
The Independent: “You not only defeated them. You decided. England met opponents who appeared faster, clever and closed. You can’t attribute all of the tuchel that only played his fourth game as a trainer, but it was an image of the known weaknesses in England. After an early lead, the team lost its orientation, had no control in the middle and seemed worse. Terrifying performance. “
The Telegraph: “A drafted team after the season that is missing a clear tactical plan. Tuchel seemed to want to revive the 4-4-2. But made some strange experiments. Ivan Toney, from Saudi Arabia, he only granted three minutes in both international matches, while England was desperately looking for the compensation-before conceding the third goal.”
Daily Mail: “England as a potential world champion in a year? That really sounds like a bad joke. With a holey and unorganized defense, England was again unable to control the game in midfield and to present the rhythm. The team has become a team that rely on great moments than on large performances, and at the highest level you don’t get far.”
The Sun: “Well, Thomas Tuchel can remember the second star on the English national team’s jersey. In view of this achievement, the qualification for the World Cup in America in America would be a decent result next summer. With such a weak defense, England cannot win the World Cup. After the first defeat against an African opponent – in the 22nd game against a team from this continent – the experiment Tuchel seems serious about advised. “
BBC: “No recognizable plan. No identity. No improvement – rather a step back – since Sir Gareth Southgate resigned in Berlin after the defeat against Spain in the 2024 final of the 2024 final. […] England played miserably against Andorra. It was worse against Senegal. “
