Lack of crowd noise a bit sad, says England’s Tuchel after win over Wales
LONDON: England head coach Thomas Tuchel has never been slow to speak his mind and the German turned his ire on the Wembley fans on Thursday, criticizing the home supporters for being too quiet in a comfortable 3-0 friendly win against Wales. The mood was buoyant enough as goals by Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Bukayo Saka in the opening 20 minutes made England’s eighth successive win over the Welsh a formality. With the game petering out in the second half, many England fans opted to leave early, some launched paper aeroplanes and it was only the loud away contingent who created any noise. “We had one-and-a-half training days to prepare against a well-trained team and we did very well,” Tuchel said. “We had an excellent first half, we were 3-0 up very quickly, but we could have been 4-0 up at halftime. “Then we couldn’t score, the fourth one, the fifth one, the stadium was silent, we never got any energy back from the fans.
