After two consecutive wins, Tuchel believes England will achieve its goal

England beat Latvia 3-0 in the second round of the 2026 World Cup European qualifiers after Reece James, Kane and Eze scored against the opponent. Tuchel said he was satisfied with the players' attitude, energy and fighting spirit, and believed that the "Three Lions" would gradually achieve their goals.

In the 38th minute of the match, Reece James scored directly from a free kick, helping England take the lead 1-0. In the 68th minute of the second half, Rice received a pass from Morgan Rogers and passed it to the front of the goal, and Kane pushed the ball in, helping England continue to lead Latvia 2-0.

In the 76th minute, Eze took over Foden's pass and volleyed the ball into the goal facing the defense, helping England extend its lead to 3-0.

In the end, England defeated Latvia 3-0 at Wembley Stadium and achieved two consecutive victories.

England coach Tuchel said, "This is not an easy game. We need to find a way to break through the opponent. I saw a lot of positive things and achieved good results. We also shut out the opponent again and created a lot of opportunities. We need to rely on free kicks to open the situation, but overall, I am satisfied with the players' attitude, energy and fighting spirit to execute tactics, and we will achieve our goals step by step."

“I know Reece James’s footwork very well, his technical level is amazing and he has every reason to be proud and happy with his performance. When we called him up, we also knew that he had not played many games recently, but this was not due to injury, but Chelsea managed his use. He is in good shape, has great speed, and his ability is undoubted.”

Tuchel also said, "The second goal was planned very well. We accelerated from a position that the opponent did not expect. We put five forwards in the frontcourt, but the real acceleration point came from Rice's forward run. We have been encouraging players to do this, especially Rice's back row."

"Before the goal, we struggled on the field, but everyone could see that the players' mentality changed after the goal, and they played more freely and excitedly, and everything became smoother."

Talking about the performance of Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers, Tuchel said, "I am satisfied with his overall performance. He deserves to start because he is in good condition in training and has performed well at Aston Villa."

"In a game where we were dominating, his characteristics might have suited him better on the wing. When we played him out wide, he felt freer with his touch and was able to use his movement better. It was very interesting because I was learning not only the player but also the game, which is good for us."
