Danny Murphy has said there may be hidden vulnerabilities at right-back for England, but fortunately Kane and Bellingham are big-game players, and he is optimistic about England's current form.

Murphy told the BBC: "It's difficult to judge a team's true level in the group stage because opponents vary in strength and style of play.

When facing stronger teams, there will be more space on the pitch, which suits our mobile players. The team doesn't need major adjustments, but there's still room for improvement in passing accuracy and attacking pace in the final third against compact defences.

Tuchel demands proactive attacking football, and that style can occasionally be exploited by opponents on the counter-attack, giving them good shooting opportunities. Overall, I think England's current condition is very good."

"There may be hidden vulnerabilities at right-back, depending on how long it takes Reece James to recover from injury and return, but overall I'm optimistic about England's current form."

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

Bellingham's position on the pitch was adjusted today, but that won't affect him one bit. He has strong self-belief and always produces brilliant moments at critical times, with exceptional talent."

"Kane, as long as he's on the pitch, we expect him to score, and he almost always does. That's why he's the captain and the team's all-time leading goalscorer, and he's also crucial to our chances of winning the FIFA World Cup."

"The threat from Congo is less than Senegal's, but their attacking players have stronger individual skill.

Expectations from fans across the country will put psychological pressure on the players, and we've seen similar situations in major tournaments before.

I think we have an overall advantage in strength, but we can't be complacent. Many of our players have exceptional talent, and the team's defensive system is very solid. Even Portugal struggled to create clear-cut chances against them."
