In Thomas Tuchel's debut match at the helm of the England national team, the team secured a 2-0 victory over Albania. Despite the positive result, the German coach found room for criticism.
Details: The head coach of the England team acknowledged that the actions from the flank players, Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden, were not good enough, and they did not have the attacking influence he desired.
Quote: “We hope for more influence in these positions. More dribbling and more aggressive runs into the penalty area. Overall, this is lacking. Chances come from small runs behind the line. They weren't as decisive as they could have been.
We lacked running with the ball. There was a little too much passing, not enough dribbling, not enough aggression towards the goal. They trained very well, they were determined in training. So I also think they deserved to start, they have been very good in recent weeks with their clubs. We will continue to encourage them.”
