Canelo was keen to run things straight back as he chased an immediate rematch against Crawford, but ‘Bud’ instead made the decision to hang up his gloves and retire, vacating the world title belts in the process. It seems Canelo…
What jumps out is that although both managers have started from opposite tactical viewpoints, there are clear similarities in both their tournament runs – much to Tuchel’s frustration.After England’s victory against Norway, Tuchel said: “The result is fantastic but I’m not happy with the performance,” before adding, “[we were] sloppy, tactical mistakes, not fast enough, not repetitive enough.”These all speak to fact that the principles he wanted to see in his side were not on show. Both goals against Norway came from moments of individual brilliance against disorganised defences. A goal-kick that fell short and landed at Elliot Anderson’s feet gave…
