Tuchel says England were ‘lucky’ to beat Norway – but hails ‘world class’ Bellingham | OneFootball

Thomas Tuchel says his England side were lucky to beat Norway in the World Cup quarter finals.

Jude Bellingham’s brace secured England’s passage to the semi finals with a 2-1 win in Miami after extra time.

But Tuchel says his side must improve if they are to make the final.

“We made life very, very difficult for ourselves today,” he said.

“The result is fantastic, being in the last four is amazing, but not happy with the performance.

“Again, the commitment was there but we made life very, very difficult with the way we played, sloppy, a lot of technical mistakes, not fast enough, not repetitive enough. We were lucky today.”

The England boss praised star man Bellingham after another decisive display, however.

“Enough said,” Tuchel said. “He does it every single match. World class.”
