England maintained their perfect record in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, with a 2-0 win over Serbia thanks to goals from Saka and Eze - the seventh consecutive win for Thomas Tuchel 's side.

The German strategist shared that the only way for him to build a team capable of winning the 2026 World Cup is to ask England's stars to "put their egos aside " if they are not in the starting lineup.

In the recent England 2-0 Serbia match, Thomas Tuchel decided to leave Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham on the bench, but the duo had a positive impact when they came on in the second half, showing the strength of the squad depth he has at his disposal. For Thomas Tuchel, the trio of Harry Kane, Foden and Bellingham cannot play in the same system.

Thomas Tuchel stressed the need for competition for places in the England squad and that any star who is not in the starting line-up is happy to accept it, putting the collective interest first.

“ It’s not about building an 11, it’s about building a team. That means they’re all big players at their clubs, they’re used to playing, so it’s normal for them to be frustrated. But everyone supports the idea of ​​building a real team and that’s what England want and need.

There is no other way, only if we are a strong team, know how to put our egos aside, leave disappointments behind, then contribute our best and give the coach a headache about who to pick for the next game… That is the only way England can be successful. I like that, because it is natural for this team .”
