Wales legend actually applauds Thomas Tuchel for crucial England quality

England are hoping that the appointment of Thomas Tuchel can be the catalyst for them to win the 2026 World Cup.

On Thursday, October 10, the Three Lions continued their preparations for the tournament, with England thrashing Wales 3-0 at Wembley Stadium.

Bukayo Saka received plaudits for his ‘world-class’ performance after scoring a stunning goal in the first half, while Aston Villa supporters were pleased to see Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins on the scoresheet.

Tuchel was also praised for his demeanour on the sidelines, and the German boss has received further adulation after showing one particular quality on the night.

Football is a team game, and even since becoming the international boss, Tuchel has emphasised ‘team’ above everything else.

The former Chelsea manager was criticised for his decision to leave Jack Grealish out of his England squad, while in-form Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton also missed out.

Tuchel has been appointed England boss to make the tough calls, and former Wales defender Ashley Williams believes this is a quality that supporters haven’t seen in the past.
