Tuchel says England's efforts deserve recognition


England defeated Wales 3-0 in a friendly at Wembley Stadium thanks to goals from Morgan Rogers, Watkins, and Saka. Tuchel, in an interview, praised the players for creating chances despite facing a tough opponent and praised their efforts.


Rice took a corner kick three minutes into the game, Elliot Anderson headed the ball in front of the goal, Guehi took a few steps to pass the ball back, Morgan Rogers took advantage of the opportunity and scored with a low shot, helping England take the lead 1-0. In the 11th minute, Guehi tried to head the ball in the melee, and then Watkins volleyed the ball from close range to help England continue to lead Wales 2-0.


In the 20th minute, Saka received a pass from Konsa in the penalty area, shook off the defense and shot into the goal, helping England extend its lead to 3-0.


Neither side was able to score in the second half, and England eventually defeated Wales 3-0 at home.


England coach Tuchel said, "We only had a day and a half to prepare against a well-trained team, and we performed very well. Especially in the first half, we performed very well and quickly took the lead 3-0, but in fact we should have led our opponents 4-0 or even 6-0."


“The team actually played very well, but we just couldn’t score the fourth and fifth goals. In the second half, we continued to work hard to create chances, and Morgan Rogers and Gordon both had two excellent chances. If we can score another goal, the tempo of the game can be sustained and the players coming on the bench can have more impact. It was not easy, but the team’s efforts deserve recognition.”


Tuchel continued, "Our goal is very clear. Although the structure is the same, the tactics have been adjusted. The timing of the press is also different because Wales plays a different way."


"Wales is a well-drilled and difficult team to play against and we put a lot of energy into the first half to limit their breakthroughs, which is very commendable."


In addition, when talking about Morgan Rogers who scored for the first time in the England senior team, Tuchel said, "He is in good form, an important part of the team, and is currently on the right track."
