‘Won today because of luck, not happy at all,’ not satisfied with England's performance, says team manager

KANSAS CITY: England Team’s manager Thomas Tuchel said that he is not satisfied with his team's performance despite defeating Norway 2-1 in the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals and advancing to the semi-finals. He responded that England achieved the victory with the support of luck.

Norway took the first lead in the match. England was under pressure when Andreas Schelderup scored in the 36th minute. However, Jude Bellingham equalized in the injury time of the first half and brought the team back into the match. Then, in the first half of extra time (in the 93rd minute), Bellingham scored again to secure England's semi-final ticket. However, Tuchel, speaking to the media after the victory, harshly criticized the team's performance.

‘I am not happy with today's victory in any way. We did not reach the level we expected in any area. We were able to win today because luck was on our side,’ Tuchel said.
England lost control of the game at several points in the match. However, England, who had only eight shots on target, outplayed Norway, who had only four shots on target. England had three good scoring opportunities, while Norway had just one. Meanwhile, Chouhal did not forget to praise the team's success architect Jude Bellingham. He said that Jude Bellingham is a world-class player and that he is the same in every game.

Real Madrid star Bellingham also shone in the pre-quarterfinals. The player, who scored a double in the 3-2 win over Mexico, is in excellent form at this World Cup, having scored six goals and one assist in six matches.
