England must find the leadership and mindset to reach heights they have not touched since 1966.
Tuchel has put together a side with a Premier League feel—powerful and high-intensity—built around their two world-class stars, Bellingham and Kane.
Yet there is still no clear blueprint for how they can quickly reshape before Euro 2028 and actually win a tournament.
And they will likely have to contend with France and Spain at those Euros.
Tuchel must make England more incisive and resilient, less predictable, and he can call on emerging talents such as Liverpool’s 17-year-old forward Rio Ngumoah and Arsenal’s Max Dowman, just 16.
The head coach seemed to take the shackles off against France on Saturday (albeit in a low-pressure game), and his reworked team showed they can sparkle in attack with a six-goal display.
Even so, doubts linger over how England solve this riddle after another setback—and the pressure is on Tuchel to deliver the answers.
