England manager Thomas Tuchel was clearly not entirely happy after last night’s 3-0 win over Wales, despite the emphatic nature of the victory.
The Three Lions took a 3-0 lead in the opening twenty minutes of the match, with Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Bukayo Saka all finding the back of the net at Wembley.
However, Tuchel felt that the atmosphere of the home crowd did not match the performance level of his players on the pitch.
Watch below as the German tactician was asked about this after the match, with the manager also snapping at the reporter for asking that his first question after such an impressive performance and result…

Thomas Tuchel on the atmosphere of England versus Wales
“That’s your first question, after that? Okay. Good. Good time to explain myself,” he said.
“First of all I said the support in Serbia was absolutely fantastic. When we played in Serbia last time I said it, I meant it.
“I love English football and I love English football fans and the support they give. But I think the atmosphere today didn’t match the performance on the pitch.”
Thomas Tuchel’s difficult start as England coach continues
Although Tuchel has achieved good results since becoming England manager, it would probably be fair to say that he has not yet completely won over the fan base.
The former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss is undoubtedly a top coach, but we are yet to see England play in a way that seems that much of an improvement from Gareth Southgate’s reign.
It certainly won’t help Tuchel if he criticizes the fans in this way, so it will be interesting to see if the atmosphere improves in the coming matches, or if his comments just make things worse.
