After Thomas Tuchel’s consecutive victories in his first camp while Peter Smith, the boss of England, Peter Smith, impressed the players who impressed during the World Cup qualifications and put a complaint for a big role in his project – and those who have an upcoming challenge …
Lewis-Skelly seizes her luck
Myles Lewis-Skelly Was undoubtedly one of the great successes of this international break, by putting the fold of England with the same confidence and the same style as the Premier League and the Champions League.
Since his first goal against Albania to dictate the game from the world of the park against Latvia, the 18 -year -old has shown his quality and his fearlessness. Wounded pair Lewis hall And Luke Shawwith Ben Chilwell – A favorite from Tuchel to Chelsea – will have aspirations to express their complaint. But Lewis-Skelly has grasped the place for the moment.
Rashford has Tuchel’s confidence
Marcus Rashford runs with the ball in England in the World Cup towards Albania against Albania
Marcus Rashford Friday and took criticism from Tuchel, but his inclusion in the team for these games was proof that the boss of the three Lions supports him – and his starting role against Latvia stressed it. The striker reimbursed the faith in this second match.
The signs of Monday were that he had listened to the words of his new boss, flowing on his marker with more intention and creating a summit of six chances. There was no goal to highlight the point – he has not yet scored for Aston Villa in nine games, despite four assists – but his rejuvenation is obvious and apparently, as with Kyle Walker And Jordan HendersonTuchel will count on his experience as a great match in this project.
James marks his return in style
Reece James wrapped himself in a free kick to give England the head against Latvia
It’s two and a half years since Reece James Has started for the last time for England. He scored his return in style, folding a brilliant free kick in the upper corner for his first goal for his country, in the middle of a performance which showed its quality on the ball. There was also a beautiful sliding tackle later in the game.
With Kieran Trippier retired from England, Kyle Walker – a starter vs Albania – now 34 years old and Trent Alexander-Arnold In missing this camp with an injury, James had the chance to show his former Chelsea boss, he can reach his best levels now he is in good shape. There was evidence of this here.
The Foden dilemma continues
Phil Foden swept away the prices of the player of the year last season. But although he started all the England matches at the euros, his performance below his word for his country continued and after being a bench against Latvia, there must now be questions to find out if he will be a leading figure for Tuchel during the World Cup.
Foden – so that Man City for a large part of this campaign – has only four goals in its 45 caps and has not clearly managed to clearly in the team.
Jarrod Bowen took its place against Latvia and was generally animated without passing before being replaced by the scorer Ebechi Ezewho brought his own spark.
But Bukayo Saka is nailed to the right, Bellingham and Cole Palmer are in the running for the role n ° 10 – where Foden obtained a late against Latvia – and the threat of Rashford on the side, or Anthony Gordon Running to the left seems to be a preference of Tuchel.
The Foden conundrum seems also difficult to solve like never before.
Image of the rear center was not clear
Thomas Tuchel gave Dan Burn a start in England in his first match in charge against Albania
Tuchel built his success in Chelsea on his defense and although he played more free flow football like Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, there is no doubt that he will be eager to build a resilient foundation to attack. But his image of the rear center is not clear – not that these opening opponents have caused many problems.
Dan Burn’s Brilliant 10 days put him unexpectedly in the context and he deserved his inclusion during his beginnings against Albania. It was contrasting with a nervous moment to Marc Guehi, whose mixture with Jordan Pickford Almost gave Latvia a shock goal, while the Londonian took out the ball out after the break.
Ezri Konsa considers her chance to open the scoring of England against Latvia
But Guehi classifies numerous central defense measures among the defenders of England in the Premier League and showed the euros in whom he could trust.
John StonesOnce again in good shape, will be the main competitor to face the point of right central defender which has been filled with credibility by Ezri Konsa This month, while Harry Maguire And Jarrad Branthwaite Decon probably Guehi and Burn to fill the left stain in the center of a rear four. Levi Colwill And Jarell Quansah will have been frustrated not to kick these two games.
The way Tuchel sees it will only emerge when the Southgate and Maguire pillars are in good shape and available.
Rogers adds a push alongside Bellingham
Morgan Rogers played as one of two n ° 8 with Kick Bellingham Monday and the pair was happy, entering the box with or without the ball and threatening several times, despite congestion in and around Lattonia. They struck the double figures between them, Rogers exceeded the number of dribbles and played in Declan Rice To help Harry Kane’s goal.
With Lewis-Skelly from the left back, a more adventurous midfielder balance was struck by the one who accumulated a record number of first half passes against Albania. Would this system work against better opposition? Would they be able to provide the required control against a team like Spain? This is a question that will have to wait.
But with Curtis Jones Friday, Jordan Henderson used on the bench, and Main Kobbie,, Adam Wharton, Conor Gallagher And James Maddison Among those who are also in the calculation, Tuchel has a variety of options and his midfielder plan is sure to evolve while he is looking for a formula to offer an “Premier League intensity” on the international scene.
Captain Kane locked himself
Harry Kane celebrates England’s second goal against Albania
There were calls to Harry Kane To be abandoned during euros. There is no chance under Tuchel. The captain of England and the top scorer started this international break saying that he thought his goals were underestimated. This may be true for the wider audience, but Kane is a firm favorite of his former boss of Bayern Munich.
Two games, two goals – Kane, who struck his best career figures during his season with Tuchel en Bundesliga, is nowhere. Its lining, Dominic Solankedid not have a minute of play.
