In matchday two of the UEFA Nations League A, England defeated the Czech Republic 2-0 away from home. After the match, England manager Tuchel spoke to the media.

Very well done. What pleased you most tonight?

I think we were very professional in the second half. The whole team increased the pace of play, and we needed to show more intensity and urgency in our approach—which the players certainly did. We maintained high pressure throughout the match and played extremely professionally, with consistent effort from the entire squad, so it was a fully deserved victory. An early red card can make things quite difficult; it's not always the best viewing experience for supporters, and it's challenging for the team to deal with. Managing such situations is always tough. But we secured an important win, and that's what matters most.

Gordon claimed there are very few, if any, players in football who can recognize that pass and execute it as precisely as Trent Alexander-Arnold.

That's true, but there aren't many players who can finish it either. For him, that goal is extremely difficult to score, and being able to place the ball so accurately into the far corner was certainly an excellent finish. A brilliant pass, and the shot was equally clinical.

How did Trent play? And what about Lewis Hall on the other flank?

Both played very well. I think the position suited Trent better in the second half than in the first half, and Lewis's performance on the opposite flank was also commendable; everyone did well. After two matches, all our outfield players have had the opportunity to play, and this praise belongs to all of them; they deserve it. Now the important thing is to rest, enjoy tonight, and then recover properly to prepare fully for the match against Croatia.
