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

The German strategist shared that the only way he could build a team capable of winning the 2026 World Cup was to ask the England stars to "put their egos aside " if they weren't in the starting lineup.

In England's recent 2-0 victory over Serbia, Thomas Tuchel decided to leave Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham on the bench, but the duo made a positive impact when they came on in the second half, demonstrating the depth of his squad. For Thomas Tuchel, the trio of Harry Kane, Foden, and Bellingham cannot play in the same system.

Thomas Tuchel emphasized the need for competition for places in the England squad, and that any player who isn't a starter should happily accept it, putting the collective good first.

“ The issue isn’t about building a team of 11 players, but about building a collective team. That means sometimes they’re all big players at their clubs, they’re used to playing, so it’s normal for them to be disappointed. But everyone supports the idea of ​​building a real team and that’s what England wants and needs.”

There's no other way; only when we're a strong team, knowing how to put our egos aside, leave the disappointment behind, and give our all, making the manager rack his brains trying to decide who to pick for the next game… That's the only way for England to succeed. I like that, because it's like the natural order of things for this team .”
