Thomas Tuchel believes England have reached a new level following his tactical adjustments in the opening Nations League fixtures. He emphasized the importance of maintaining aggression, particularly in high pressing, while encouraging players to embrace freedom and trust their instincts. This approach has led to significant results, with England bouncing back from a loss to Spain with three consecutive victories, including a stunning 7-0 win against Croatia in Rijeka.

After these matches, England has essentially secured their place in the quarter-finals of a tournament seen as a precursor to Euro 2028. Tuchel remarked, "It was football on a very high level, football that suits us, attacking football." Despite the setback against Spain, he noted that the team’s reaction was commendable, highlighting the effectiveness of their high-ball wins and calculated risks taken in opponent territory.

Assistant coach Anthony Barry discussed the need for more flexibility in their game model. Tuchel confirmed that minor adjustments to training have been beneficial. "We made some slight adjustments to how we trained... I am happy that what we did worked," he stated. The two weeks spent training together allowed the team to refine their strategies and communication.

Jarell Quansah, a defender, expressed that the team's style has evolved since the World Cup, becoming more aggressive and relentless. He stated, "We can really dominate teams with the lads playing in the Premier League at such a high level and intensity."

Quansah also reflected on the pain of his World Cup red card against Mexico, which forced him to miss crucial knockout matches. "It was horrible... It hurts so much. It’s not easy to get over something like that," he shared. Despite the setback, he remains optimistic about the team's potential moving forward.
