After defeating Wales 3-0 at Wembley Stadium, England coach Thomas Tuchel's face was full of mixed emotions: both satisfaction with the team's wonderful performance and disappointment with the atmosphere of the fans at the scene.

This is Tuchel's first convincing performance since he coached the "Three Lions", following the victory over Serbia. Only 3 minutes into the game, Morgan Rogers opened the scoring with a corner kick assist from Guey; in the 11th minute, Guey once again launched an attack, and Watkins made a smart follow-up shot to expand the score to 2-0. In the 20th minute, Saka hit a powerful left-footed curve ball into the dead center, bringing a perfect end to the "blitz" in the first half.

From a tactical point of view, the two set-piece goals fully demonstrated Tuchel's attention to details and the results of careful drills. The team took control of the game in a short period of time, setting the tone for the crucial World Cup qualifying match against Latvia.

However, in stark contrast to the passion of the players on the field, the stands at Wembley Stadium looked extremely deserted. Although there were about 7,000 Welsh away fans, there was almost no cheering from the local fans in England. Tuchel expressed strong dissatisfaction with this.

"We had every chance to lead 5-0 in the first half," Tuchel said bluntly in an interview with ITV after the game, "but the entire stadium was silent, and we did not get any energy or support from the stands. The players worked hard on the field and deserved a more enthusiastic response. When you can only hear the shouts of the opponent's fans for half an hour, it is really sad - today's team deserves more enthusiastic support."

He further explained: "I have sincerely praised it. When we played in Serbia the support from the fans was perfect. I love the devotion that English fans have to football. But today, we took a 3-0 lead in 20 minutes and the attack was so intense that I kept thinking, ‘Why wasn’t the roof blown off by the cheers? ’ If the scene is more energetic, it may help us further expand our advantage in the second half. "

In the second half, Tuchel replaced Rashford and other players for rotation. The team's pace slowed down, but it still took the absolute initiative. Rogers' shot hit the crossbar, and goalkeeper Pickford also made two wonderful saves to keep the goal clean.

Although the team ended the game with a hearty victory, with players such as Elliot Anderson and Saka also winning applause, Tuchel's criticism undoubtedly cast a shadow over the victory. The Three Lions' competitive form is on the right track, but the cheers from the home fans still need to match it.
