After England’s Three Lions surrendered their one goal lead against Argentina and were beaten 2-1 by the cup holders on Wednesday night, Head Coach Thomas Tuchel has thrown lights on why his team failed to reach the final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The German tactician has come under heavy criticism by British media who are blaming him for resorting to defend the one goal lead instead of increasing the intensity of the Three Lions attack against the Albiceleste.
In Tuchel’s interview yesterday, he insisted defending was never part of his game-plan against Argentina.
“I haven’t seen the data yet but I think right after the goal, the momentum swings completely in ball possession, chances and it drops dramatically,” he began in his interview with the BBC Sports.
Tuchel admitted that the Three Lions became too passive in their approach in the last quarter of the game.
