Tuchel urged fans not to lose faith after the goalless draw with Ghana

England manager Thomas Tuchel has appealed to fans to remain patient and have faith in the team after Tuesday's game against Ghana at Gillette Stadium The result was something of a step back for England after their impressive 4-2 win over Croatia. England completely controlled the flow of the game, possessing the ball 79% of the playing time and making 19 shots on goal. However, finding a way to the goal of the well-organized team of Carlos Quieros turned out to be an extremely difficult task. The most dangerous moments came from Nico O'Reilly, who hit the crossbar after coming on as a substitute, and captain Harry Kane, who wasted a great chance to finish late in the match. In the post-match press conference, Tuchel admitted that the game could have disappointed the spectators in terms of spectacle, but defended the dedication of his charges. "The guys tried everything and again they played with the right energy. I know it's a very difficult game: if the opponent sits in a deep block, you don't find space. It can be difficult to watch and it's not as exciting as playing on opposite courses," said the German expert. The coach emphasized that the team continues to lead in Group L: We always try to please our fans. Today was tough, I hope they don't lose faith. There is still a long way to go. We give credit to our opponent - we play in a very difficult group." Separately, Tuchel dismissed accusations from journalists about the team's excessive reliance on 32-year-old Bayern striker Harry Kane. Kane is currently the team's all-time top scorer (81 goals in 115 appearances). Apart from him, only Marcus Rashford (19 goals) and Bukayo Saka (14) have scored double figures for the national team. Tuchel compared the situation with other top teams in the world: "Does Argentina rely too much on Lionel Messi and France rely too much on Kylian Mbappe? Yes, they are. They are world-class players, and they do. In the final round, Tuchel's men will play against Panama, who have already guaranteed themselves relegation. The match is scheduled for June 28, kick-off at 00:00. yourself" Thomas added that against Ghana, the space for Kane was critically limited by the opposition's tactics, when the attack was effectively played eight against ten. Despite dropping points, England remain top of Group L.
