Thomas Tuchel praised Elliot Anderson for an “excellent achievements” on his senior international debut as England defeated Andorra on Saturday.
The three lions opened the score halfway through the first half when Christian Garcia put the ball in his own net, but had to wait until the 67th minute to score again when Declan Rice doubled.
Despite the fact that they did not make their dominance in more goals, Tuchel said that he was satisfied with how his side played during the victory at Wembley, who are top of Group K.
“I liked the performance,” said the German BBC Radio 5 Live. “It was a good performance, a solid performance against a low block. The second goal was too late to play with perhaps 100 percent freedom that is needed to score more. We have created many opportunities but did not convert them.
“We had to wait a long time for the second goal and then we had good energy from the replacements and then we had the second goal and we felt freedom. It was also a signal for the opponent that the game was over.
“In general with the effort and attitude I am totally satisfied and it was a much better performance than in June. It would earn to win 4-0 or 5-0.”
Thomas Tuchel sings Elliot Anderson after ‘excellent’ England debut
In a surprising step, Tuchel Anderson gave his first start for England to see if he would be ready to appear against Serbia in Tuesday’s qualifying match. The midfielder of Nottingham Forest passed the exam with flag and pennant.
“That was the test for him,” Tuchel said. “We want all the options for Belgrade, we thought:” Let’s try it today and see if he’s ready. “
“It might be unfair to give him a debut in Belgrade, because we expect an emotional game and emotional audience. In general, an excellent achievement.”
