Thomas Tuchel reveals old-school England solution to new tactical trend
Why long throws and balls could become vital to England’s success
- England manager Thomas Tuchel is preparing his side for more physical play, including aerial tactics like long throws and crosses, ahead of the World Cup.
- This approach is deemed necessary as more opponents are expected to employ deep defensive blocks, such as the 5-4-1 formation, with tall, physical strikers.
- England recently defeated Andorra 2-0 at Villa Park, with both goals originating from crosses.
- Tuchel highlighted various options for physical strikers, including Harry Kane, Ollie Watkins, Marcus Rashford, Jarrod Bowen, Anthony Gordon, Phil Foden, and Morgan Rogers.
- Looking ahead to the match against Serbia, Tuchel expressed full trust in his team, anticipating an emotional and physical encounter, and believes they are ready to secure a win.
