If we yearned to discover in England's 2-0 win over Albania what type of boss Thomas Tuchel is going to be, we did not get the answers - but it was still encouraging, writes OLIVER HOLT
Daily MailOn the occasion of his first match in charge of the England national team, Thomas Tuchel approached his task with the manner of a doctor treating a patient who has been in torment for quite some time. Thomas Tuchel enjoyed a winning start to life with England as his team beat Albania 2-0 Myles Lewis-Skelly scored on his England debut, becoming the youngest player to do so The 18-year-old Arsenal star covered his face after giving England a 1-0 lead in the first half And anyway, the only question that really matters, the only comparison that counts, is will Tuchel be Alf Ramsey? Jude Bellingham was as excellent as he always is, Myles Lewis-Skelly, one of England’s two debutants, scored England’s opening goal and looked so comfortable and so classy that it would be a surprise if he were not a fixture of the national team for the next ten years. And when Albania began to scent England nerves midway through the second half, when the domination of the other England debutant, Dan Burn, began to fray slightly, Harry Kane, England’s old reliable, scored his 70th goal for England in the 77th minute and made the win secure. After a first 20 minutes when England dominated possession but the game was stultifyingly dull, that gaze of Tuchel’s was starting to look like a thousand-yard stare but then everything changed in an instant.
