Key Players
England's primary creative outlet on the right. Cuts inside onto his left foot, delivers crosses, and creates isolation 1v1 situations.
Dynamic midfielder who arrives late in the box and drives forward with purpose. Connects midfield to attack with powerful carrying runs.
Defensive shield who protects the back four and progresses the ball through midfield. The anchor of England's pressing structure.
Drifts between positions to find pockets of space. Most effective when given freedom to roam behind the striker.
Recovery pace that underwrites England's high line. Walker's speed allows Tuchel to push the defensive line higher than otherwise possible.
Drops deep to link play and finishes with clinical precision in the box. England's all-time leading scorer continues to deliver at major tournaments.
