Danny Murphy has stated that England's right-back position could present hidden vulnerabilities, but fortunately Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham are big-game players, and he remains optimistic about England's current form.

Murphy told the BBC: "It's difficult to gauge a team's true level in the group stage because opponents have varying strengths and playing styles.

When we face stronger teams, there will be more space on the pitch, which suits our mobile players. The team doesn't need major adjustments, but when it comes to breaking down compact defensive blocks, there's still room for improvement in passing accuracy and attacking pace in the final third.

Tuchel demands proactive attacking from the team, and this style can occasionally create counter-attacking opportunities for opponents, giving them good shooting chances. Overall, I think England's current condition is very strong."

"The right-back position could present hidden vulnerabilities depending on how long it takes Reece James to recover from his injury and return, but overall I'm optimistic about England's current form."

"The team has two top players. In several consecutive major tournaments, Bellingham has been our standout performer. Both are big-game players who always step up to carry the team.

Bellingham's position was adjusted today, but that won't affect him at all. He has strong self-belief and always produces brilliant moments in critical situations. He's exceptionally talented."

"Harry Kane, whenever he plays, we expect him to score goals, and he almost always does. That's why he's our captain and record goalscorer, and it's crucial to our chances of winning the World Cup."

"The threat from the Democratic Republic of Congo isn't as great as Senegal's, but their attacking players have stronger individual abilities.

The expectations of fans across the country will put psychological pressure on the players, and we've seen similar situations in previous major tournaments.

I believe we have the advantage in overall strength, but we can't afford to be complacent. Many players in the team are exceptionally talented, and the team's defensive system is very solid. Even Portugal struggled to create effective scoring opportunities against them."
