With one goal and one assist, England s new core makes a brilliant debut! Bellingham s World Cup dream is hanging in the balance

Football

After the victory over Wales at Wembley Stadium, Thomas Tuchel publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the England fans, but the performance of the players only made him feel the joy of victory.

Within the first 20 minutes, the team took a 3-0 lead. Tuchel fiercely criticized the "silent" supporters at the scene, which is something no coach has ever done.

However, as next summer's World Cup approaches, another message conveyed by the German coach has caused even greater controversy.

Tuchel's remarks are more shocking than Bellingham's loss.

In the latest England team roster announced by Tuchel, Jude Bellingham was not selected. This was originally thought to be due to Bellingham's shoulder injury and unsystematic training and competition, but the intensity of the "earthquake" caused by Tuchel's words far exceeded the fact that Bellingham was not selected.

He made it clear that England's star system is over, players can consolidate their positions with outstanding performance, and big-name stars are no longer guaranteed to be automatically selected.

England's victory in this friendly match must take into account Wales' fighting spirit, because the opponents' eyes seem to be focused on next Monday's World Cup qualifier against Belgium, but this victory still makes Tuchel very satisfied with his strategy.

Tuchel said that he picked an England team, not many English star players. He said: "We are not trying to select the most talented players, we are trying to build a team. It is the team that wins trophies, not individuals fighting individually."

Although Tuchel does not say this, he has good reasons to exclude Bellingham. After all, he has only started one game for Real Madrid after shoulder surgery. But such a high-profile statement coupled with Bellingham's superstar status means Tuchel's choice is risky.

Bellingham may also want to be recruited into the team, but Tuchel is happy not to use him this time, because Tuchel believes in the players he recruited. They defeated Serbia 5-0 in the World Cup qualifiers in Belgrade, creating the best record during his coaching period.

Morgan Rogers turned out, Bellingham is no longer a "necessity"

Seemingly to prove the correctness of Tuchel's decision, in England's match against Wales, Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa performed well in the No. 10 position that originally belonged to Bellingham, just like his performance in Belgrade.

Judging from the performance of the England team in the past two games, Rogers is quickly becoming the spokesperson for the new image Tuchel wants to create.

If Tuchel's strategy is adopted, then Rodgers has now locked up a place in the England team, and he has the opportunity to consolidate his place next Tuesday against Latvia.

Bellingham certainly wants to participate in the World Cup, but he now knows better that no one can guarantee that he will return to the England team.

Bellingham is not indispensable, and Tuchel increasingly believes that England can go on without him.

What further strengthened Tuchel's confidence was that not only Bellingham was absent from this victory, but also Phil Foden and the injured Palmer and Harry Kane.

If Tuchel is a person who dares to take risks, then this time he was rewarded.

Tuchel knows that once the England team performs poorly, people will definitely point the finger at him. He may still be blamed if they don't get the desired result in Riga next Tuesday. But tonight, the big smile he flashed at the final buzzer was completely genuine.

Tuchel criticized the English fans at the post-match press conference for being too quiet and lacking support for the home team. He must have been very confident when he said this. Of course he knew his remarks would be controversial, but they also reflect his increasing proficiency in this demanding job.

And Rogers became a symbol of the way he wanted to progress.

The 23-year-old scored his first goal for England in just 3 minutes, a beautiful close-range shot. Eight minutes later, he assisted Villa teammate Watkins to score England's second goal. In the 20th minute of the first half, Bukayo Saka ended this devastating opening burst with a wonderful world wave, adding another point for England.

Rogers also hit the crossbar once in the second half before being substituted in the 69th minute and earning a standing ovation.

In the entire game, he passed the ball 24 times, succeeded 19 times, created two opportunities and scored one goal.

Tuchel said: "Rogers is Rogers. He is the No. 10 player, he is fighting for his position and he is in good condition."

"We are ready to work as a team. The victory over Serbia was a model of teamwork and we created a lot of opportunities. We can To keep using Harry Kane, but we need to learn to play without Kane and Bellingham - they are injured"

"Tuchel's job is not to make the players happy"

Former England defender Stephen Warnock said: "Tuchel's comments have been. Proved right, these players are likely to start for England and he will have some big decisions to make. "

"His job is not to make the players happy. His job is to lead England to win the World Cup, a difficult task he must complete. The hard part is, you're going to piss people off and you're going to have the media questioning your decisions. "

"His big decisions have paid off so far and England are looking very good. "

Warnock added: "It's looking great at the moment and they may be able to continue this momentum against the top teams in the world.. There comes a time when you need guys like Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer to impact the game. The best thing is that we have players like this. "

Morgan Rogers said in an interview: "It definitely won't be too bad tonight. Although the opponent is a different team from Serbia, our philosophy is the same, our mentality is the same, our ideas and the way we play are the same. "

"Whether it is a new player or a player who has not come, we all know what we are doing. We help each other out, it's a great place, it's a great environment and it feels great to play for this team. Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest is another beneficiary of Tuchel's desire to find new players outside the inner circle of England stars, and he has shown top quality for the third time in a row.

Andersen's aggressive pursuit of the ball and his ability to control the tempo on the field , are all manifestations of his strength. He passed the ball 77 times, succeeded 74 times, created two opportunities, and regained the ball six times.

Tuchel added: "Rogers and Elliott Henderson are both humble players and very talented. This is a very good combination. "

The strength of the England team has been further improved in Tuchel's hands, even stronger than in the victory over Serbia. If he can win again in Latvia, it will strengthen his determination to build a strong team.

This will also make Bellingham and other players clearly aware that Tuchel is determined to go his own way in next summer's World Cup. Whether the Real Madrid midfielder is present or not.
