Senior England Stars Frustrated by Tuchel’s Hyper-Defensive Shift in World Cup Semi
England took the lead through Anthony Gordon in their World Cup semi-final against Argentina. However, Thomas Tuchel’s substitutions turned the side ultra-defensive, with three centre-backs added and key attackers withdrawn. England then struggled to hold the ball or build attacks. According to Sky Sports, several senior squad members questioned the tactical change and felt it handed control back to Argentina’s attackers. England now prepare for the third-place play-off against France in Miami as they aim for their best-ever finish at the tournament.
