Thomas Tuchel explained England's poor performance against Andorra: pointed out the reason.

Tuchel's comments on the match

According to The Sun: Thomas Tuchel blamed the poor performance of the England national team against Andorra on the very low atmosphere in the stadium.

The England team played at Villa Park in the West Midlands, as Wembley was unavailable.

Tuchel fielded an experimental lineup, and Eliota Anderson made his debut in midfield.

England only began to find their rhythm after the 25th minute when the opponent made a mistake.

Declan Rice scored with a header in the second half, but England failed to create many dangerous chances despite having 83% possession.

Tuchel expressed satisfaction with the performance but admitted that the team could have involved the fans more.

“It’s not easy – the crowd here is completely different from Premier League matches,”

“I think we could have lifted the mood, but it’s a completely different matter, and we know that.”

“But I think the energy was right, the quality was there, we should have scored more goals,”

Plans for the future

Tuchel expects a more “emotional” atmosphere during the next match against Serbia in Belgrade.

“We will try to prove that we can win and show a different performance, being resilient in such circumstances,”

“We expect a very emotional stadium, emotional fans. We may have to adapt to the circumstances.”

Tuchel pointed to the physicality of the opponent:

“We are dealing with a very physical team, they play man-to-man. They have high-quality forwards – at the international level.”

“They play very simply, so we need to adapt to the circumstances and show that we are a strong group on the right path.”

Tuchel is confident in the team's preparation:

“Two days of preparation before Tuesday, and I hope we will prove that we are ready, accept the physicality, overcome all challenges, and secure another victory.”

Before the team is an important match against Serbia, which could significantly influence the further chances of the English in the qualifiers for the championship. A successful performance will not only be a way to rehabilitate in the eyes of the fans but also an important step towards qualifying for a major tournament. Tuchel is certainly focused on a positive result and counting on the support of fans in Belgrade.
