England secured their spot in the World Cup with a commanding 5-0 victory over Latvia, following their significant win against Serbia. However, coach Thomas Tuchel acknowledges that the real challenge is just beginning. While advancing past a group of weaker opponents was expected, the focus now shifts to building a strong and competitive national team.
One challenge for Tuchel is mending relations with Jude Bellingham after previous comments about his on-field behavior caused media stir. Despite Bellingham's importance to the team, Tuchel needs a backup plan for his potential absence and must integrate him without disrupting team dynamics.
Tuchel faces tough decisions regarding attacking players like Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, and must determine who will play the number 10 role, with options including Bellingham and Cole Palmer. Additionally, finding players who can bring energy, especially considering the physical demands of North America's climate, is crucial.
England must also prepare to face major teams in friendlies to test their capabilities. With proper preparation and strategic decisions, England has the potential for success at the upcoming World Cup.
