2026 WCQ: I didn’t like it – Tuchel slams England players despite 1-0 win over Andorra

England manager, Thomas Tuchel, has revealed he did not like the “lack or urgency” from his players following a narrow 1-0 win over Andorra.

Harry Kane scored the only goal of the game in the 2026 World Cup qualifier on Saturday.

But Tuchel was unhappy with the performance and accused the players of not trying hard enough after 25 minutes.

According to him, the players were left in no doubt as to his opinion of their display against the minnows.

“I think we started quite well in the first 20-25 minutes, that was the only part where I had the feeling it was a matter of time,” he told ITV Sport.

“We lost completely the momentum [and] couldn’t get it back through the whole first half.

Tuchel added: “It is still a World Cup qualifier away from home. I didn’t like it at all.

“All the players know because I said it in the dressing room.

“It is also necessary to have a look in detail and watch the match again.”

 

Since he took over the team, Tuchel has won all three fixtures so far, as the post-Gareth Southgate era continues to take shape.
