Head coach says side will meet Serbia challenge
‘I think this game will bring out the best in us’
Thomas Tuchel has said that England’s youngsters will have no fear against Serbia and backed his team to make a statement in their daunting World Cup qualifier in Belgrade.
Sitting in a small room overlooking the pitch at the imposing Rajko Mitic Stadium, there was a sense of Tuchel geeing himself up as he looked outside and took in his surroundings before previewing the clash on Tuesday between the two strongest sides in Group K.
England’s head coach is under pressure to produce a standout performance despite starting qualifying with four wins from four. The football has been uninspired at times – England underwhelmed in attack during their 2-0 victory over Andorra at Villa Park last Saturday – but Tuchel believes facing Serbia in a ferocious atmosphere can ignite his reign.
