Tuchel to ‘keep pushing’ England to reach Spain’s level
Manager Thomas Tuchel says England made too many clear-cut mistakes in their 3-2 loss to a more composed and clinical Spain.
Thomas Tuchel remains confident England can defeat world champions Spain despite seeing his side lose 3-2 on Saturday. England led 2-1 at halftime but failed to capitalize on a Harry Kane penalty that hit the woodwork. Spain capitalized on two defensive errors from England, with Marc Guehi scoring the first goal and Nico O'Reilly equalizing from a wayward pass.
Alex Baena sealed the victory for Spain. This defeat means England have only won six of their last 16 matches against teams ranked in FIFA's top 10. Tuchel acknowledged the team's defensive mistakes and admitted they will continue pushing the team. He stated that while they proved they can perform at the World Cup, today's result doesn't reflect their performance.
England now face a crucial double header against the Czech Republic and Croatia over the next 10 days.
