Tamerlan Musaev hails new attacking face of England under

England's journey to the 2026 World Cup continues to cause reactions in the world of football. After a breathtaking 3-2 victory against Mexico in the round of 16, the English continue their adventure and are preparing to face Norway for a place in the last four. This impressive performance against a valiant Mexican team illustrates the profound changes introduced since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel at the head of the English selection.

Tamerlan Musaev, CSKA Moscow striker, gave his analysis in the program “All about the Match! » on Match TV: “Tuchel’s England play a lot more pressing, whereas with Southgate, the game was more calm and defensive. Today, football is more pleasant to watch, the team takes more initiative and offers attacking play. As a spectator, I appreciate this new philosophy. »

Under Thomas Tuchel, England has indeed radically changed its approach. Forgotten defensive schemes and waiting phases, make way for a quick transition game, supported by high pressing which suffocates the opponents. This tactical change is bearing fruit, as evidenced by the qualification acquired a little earlier against Mexico in a meeting full of twists and turns.

With this victory, the Three Lions advance to the quarter-finals of the largest tournament in the world, organized this year in three vast territories: the United States, Canada and Mexico. As a reminder, the 2026 edition of the tournament brings together 48 nations from June 11 to July 19, a historic first. Among the favorites, Argentina defends its title acquired in 2022 but England, with this new offensive face, intends to play the leading roles until the end.

The upcoming confrontation against Norway promises to be hotly contested, especially as the Scandinavians also have a golden generation. But with a team reinvigorated thanks to Tuchel and brilliant individuals, England now seems ready to take a new step. The eyes of French football enthusiasts will therefore be turned towards this major duel, waiting to know if the tactical bet made by Tuchel will confirm its success.
