When Latvia comes to the city, everyone wants to have the ball. Everyone dreams of getting an extra touch. Everyone wants to be a star. Nobody seems to be exactly what they want when slowing down the game as they settled in Latvia’s rear protection actions and focusing on England a little more than keeping them out.
It is a familiar problem for England. Thomas Tuchel, playing with the intensity, touching the aggression of the Premier League, his team to fulfill the request to the rivals said. The challenge was not to defeat Latvia, but about how the victory was achieved. The standards had to rise after a solid but remarkable opening World Cup qualifying win against Albania. Tuchel is demanding. Tuchel will ask for more. When Tuchel allows the midfielder not focused, he will not hesitate to try to restrain Jude Bellingham when he allows the sharper version to take over.
Perhaps the development of Britain after Bellingham’s 67th for Phil Foden caused Phil Foden, which was a coincidence, which offered a few signs about how this will happen in knockout football. However, after changing the Tuchel attack, Morgan gave a roving role to Morgan Rogers by carrying Foden to 10 positions, and the speed was increased after blocking the middle. Suddenly there were purposes, different angles and sharper transitions. The resistance of Latvia, which was overwhelmed, was 1-0 in 67 minutes, 2-0 in 68, and Marcus Rashford seized Harry Kane between Rogers and Declan Rice. Eberechi Eze, who was impressive during Cameo, made 3-0 with the first international target.
What about Bellingham? The longing of a savior usually confuses England’s thought. Build the team around that man. Last summer, it turned out to hear that Gareth Southgate is still talking about your best players as Foden and Bellingham tried to justify each other’s way. Tuchel is clearer. It does not give priority to the individual through the team.
After an unpleasant screen against Albania, he had the ruthlessness to drop Foden. Nobody claims that Jarrod Bowen is better than Foden. The problem is whether Bowen is a more effective option on the right where Bukayo Saka is not available.
Everyone knows that Kane develops when he’s rapidly surrounded. Bowen, who seems very desperate to impress after a rare start, cannot get his chances against Latvia. Tuchel made it clear that his mission is to choose the best team, not the best players. Its prevalence is that it needs two direct fingers.
Nevertheless, the search continues after another mixed performance. There was another interesting election from Tuchel, who gave up and attacked the Albanian match with 4-2-3-1. Curtis Jones, who was more likely to fall deep in the search for the ball, was sacrificed and Rogers came to play with Bellingham in an entrepreneurial 4-1-4-1 system. Rashford, who was irregular against Albania, began again on the left.
After the bulletin promotion
Latvia decided to try to score short goals. Their optimism is admirable. After a mixture between Jordan Pickford and Marc Guéhi, they had almost a shock bullets. Reece James had some early problems with Rigas FS Hotshot Janis Ikaunieks at the age of 30.
England fixed themselves. James opened the score with a nice free kick. Mostly, England was very rare and complex. Rogers and Bellingham made each other crowded and were usually in Kane’s area. Myles Lewis-Skelly was reversed from the left by providing an extra body in the midfield, but the fins were not supported by overlapping runs. There was a lot of confusion around. Latvia sat down and waited. He wanted to be too many stars. Bellingham abandoned, lost ownership, and saw yellow for a clumsy foul. Raivis was lucky that he was not reserved again when he cleaned Jurkovskis at the beginning of the second half.
Bellingham still wants to do a lot. A defender is given a lot of time by standing, bending it in this way, then bending it in this way and again. Not efficient enough. The result is disappearing and Bellingham’s disappointment occurs. When things get complex, there is still a tendency to boil.
Failures from Euro 2024 continue. He was involved in Tuchel’s criticism of his wide players, and was an acceptance that England could not find the runs or did not move the ball with enough whisk. Probably returns to the makeup of the midfield. There is still no connection player, no connector, no one who has risky gushing has no transitions forward. England’s tempo is still very calm. Bellingham is a Gamechanger, A Moments player, but when the drift ball is too much. Britain needs a chef, not about this. The man who influenced those under 21 years of age, Wharton, is worth a look next next time.
