Müller Slams Tuchel’s ‘Passive’ Tactics After England’s 2-1 Semi-Final Defeat

Thomas Müller, who won the 2014 World Cup under Thomas Tuchel, has publicly criticised Tuchel’s decision to sit deep after England took a 1-0 lead. Müller described the shift into a low defensive block as baffling given Argentina’s wing play. England went ahead in the 55th minute through Anthony Gordon but ceded control as Argentina dominated with 88% possession. Enzo Fernández’s long-range equaliser and a Messi assist for Lautaro Martínez sealed a stunning comeback in Atlanta. With holders Argentina heading to Sunday’s final against Spain, Tuchel’s side now faces a third-place playoff against France amid growing questions over their conservative game plan.
