The result of that encouragement was an explosive and effective performance from the England team, with two goals scored in the second half, sealing a 4-2 victory in their opening match.

Public criticism of coach Tuchel's 26-player squad for the 2026 World Cup has been silenced. Instead, we see images of English fans embracing, singing, and celebrating. This victory not only opens up opportunities for England to top their group but also shows that the "Three Lions" are heading in the right direction.

What are the shackles that Coach Tuchel is referring to? They are the burden on the players from the pressure of the fans, the expectations for results, and the off-field drama of the media. The England team often enters World Cups or EUROs under immense pressure, even though their squad is always considered the most expensive, most attractive, and most star-studded. Since the 1966 World Cup, England has not won the gold trophy again. Successive generations of golden teams, with their expected prodigies, have ultimately disappointed.

The saying "a prophet is not honored in his own country" perfectly applies to the England national team. After years of relying on domestic strategists without achieving glory, the "Three Lions" decided to change their fortunes by appointing a German coach as their first ever manager.

A squad chosen by coach Tuchel is not influenced by public opinion; it may not yet include the best individual players, but it is becoming a very strong team. Harry Kane and Bellingham's effusive praise for coach Tuchel after England's 4-2 victory over Croatia shows that the German strategist has initially succeeded in creating a united team.

The World Cup is a long journey, and one victory doesn't guarantee ultimate success. Greater challenges await England, with pressure increasing with each match. But at least, Coach Tuchel is helping the "Three Lions" overcome their anxieties, playing with confidence, belief in the team, and in each individual player. That's the foundation for the English to dream of the gold trophy.
