Thomas Tuchel: First impressions of new England head coach after win over Albania
In the opening phase, he received two applause from animated when England pressed Albania to make a mistake – the first time stole ownership, and when intensity forced visitors to pass the ball to the ball.
Tachel was equally enthusiastic when England swung back the ball. This is the intensity he wants and will expect more in the future.
It all comes with Tic-Tac waving his arms, but for the most part he is a calm, measuring character, though few long spells are excited.
Tuchel was not a permanent presence of the contact line, sat down after 14 minutes, stayed there for three minutes, occasionally discussing with his staff before returning to the court.
He greeted the dominant first goal, and he kicked Lewis-Skelly from Jude Bellingham’s keen pass, fist and a big smile – but thanks to his verbose instructions to goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, it was quickly credited to the business.
Tuchel also soon became familiar with one of Wembley’s recent traditions, paper planes flying during inactivity. After 33 minutes, the first one landed near him.
Tuchel shows that he is less proud to use the strength and suit strength he believes brings the Premier League advantage to England, opting for the 6-foot-7-inch burning physics and aerial power, and before the technically talented Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, he was arguably England’s best European player.
When the three Lions won three consecutive corners in the first half, a series of players formed – a player known as the “bus stop” or “love train” – but only one goal is the delivery of Declan Rice – the giant burning figure.
It was the most obvious plan, but he almost worked when he surpassed Albanian defender to hit the title on the title.
Tuchel lost his calm when Rashford broke into the ground in front of him once he condemned the officer for not having a foul, but it was a dull night and a routine victory.
