England national team coach Thomas Tuchel admitted that his team played below its level in the World Cup 2026 qualifying match against Andorra, winning only 1:0.
Thomas Tuchel (photo: gettyimages.com)— In the locker room we all immediately felt the same thing. We dominated the game and could have scored at least four goals, but could not do it. We were imprecise and ineffective in finishing our chances. This was definitely not our level. It was evident that physically we were lacking — the statistics confirm this. The players simply did not run enough.
The whole team played below its level — it is not about individual players. And I did not like the last ten minutes at all — we played unseriously. This cannot be the approach in qualifying matches for the World Cup. I told the players directly — did not hide anything.
Nothing terrible happened, but the criticism is absolutely deserved. I am also included in it, without a doubt. In training, everything looked good, everyone was motivated. We will analyze the situation and try to fix everything, — said the German.
