Head coach says he must accept lack of control in games.
Thomas Tuchel has said there are times when he craves greater control in matches.
Tuchel described his team as “maybe not the most economical to play football” in terms of their habit of constantly playing at full throttle. They lost to Argentina in the World Cup semi-final in July when they had nothing left in the tank and watched the game slip away after going 1-0 up in the 55th minute. England barely touched the ball thereafter, had no control and were reeled in, Argentina winning with two late goals.
Tuchel said he would like it if his team “became for 10 minutes more like Spain” when the pressure was on – a reference to the ability of the world champions to dominate the ball; their comfort on it. Though, Tuchel will always play to the strengths of his players, what they are used to, what they have grown up with – even what the fans in England most like.
Tuchel was asked whether his team’s attempt to dig in grimly and preserve the 1-0 lead against Argentina was a result of their lack of control. “But to still say it [controlling football] is not how English fans cherish a match.”
“Deep down, in the core, English players and the spectators – and this is a beautiful thing – they go for it.”
The way Tuchel sees it, he has come into a specific football culture.
Tuchel said he had “mixed” feelings about the World Cup because of the Argentina defeat.
