England’s head coach Thomas Tuchel said his team will focus on the positives despite a 3-2 loss against World champions Spain in the UEFA Nations League at Wembley Stadium. Marc Guéhi’s error was capitalised on by Spain star Lamine Yamal for the opening goal, but Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane scored for the Three Lions to give their team a 2-1 lead.
Kane had a chance to extend the lead, but he missed from the spot kick. However, substitutes Álex Baena and Mikel Oyarzabal scored for La Roja to give them a thrilling 3-2 win.
Asked if England might look back at the frustrating Group A3 loss as an important moment on the road to Euro 2028, England boss Tuchel said: “Yeah, if we learn from it, if we take the positives.
“I think there’s quite some positives to take away from [it] and we will try to do the review straight away [on Sunday] because there’s not a lot of time and turnaround for the game.
“I think we will focus on the positives but also highlight the stuff that we can do better. Not even speaking about individual mistakes because, I mean, this is normal. It just happens.
“It should not happen and for sure not in this this amount, but there is no sense in showing now the individual mistakes or showing or telling them ‘please don’t do mistakes.’
“But we can do things better, we can defend the third goal better, of course, but we will focus on the positives. There’s a lot to take away from [this].
“We wanted to be the team that desperately to beat them. We think we had them. We still think we had them at halftime and that was the way the team showed up after halftime, so we will focus on that.
“But the reality is we lost and the reality is we need to prove it again against Czechia in Prague.
