England 1-0 Andorra in the World Cup, with three consecutive wins still in doubt, Maduaike assists Kane

World-Trial European Division Group K round, England 1-0, Andorra, and the opponent is the 173rd team, so the small victory of the Three Lions is not a surprise. Before the game, the outside world generally believed that England would be one-sided, but the process was not as easy as expected. England still needs to solve some existing problems after coaching Tuchel. However, the new coach won all the first three games after taking office, and the team did not lose a single goal, which is also worthy of recognition. Therefore, Tuchel also became the first coach in England's history to do this. The teams 2-0 Albania, 3-0 Latvia, and 1-0 Andorra respectively.

In the first half of this game, England, which had the advantage on paper, had the advantage on the field and continued to attack the Andorra's defense. In the first minute of the game, Bellingham tried a threatening long shot, but unfortunately the ball was slightly angled and was firmly held by Andorra's goalkeeper. After that, England continued to put pressure. In the 19th minute, Maduaike made a cross from the bottom of the left, and there was chaos in front of the goal. Curtis Jones made another cross after getting the ball, and Kane shot with a border, but unfortunately it was slightly off. Although England's offensive was fierce and the ball possession rate was significantly ahead, it was still unable to knock on Andorra's door. After halftime, the two sides temporarily drew 0-0.

After changing sides, England finally broke the deadlock on the court in the 50th minute. Kane first made a shovel and then Maduaike quickly crossed after getting the ball. Kane understood it and scored another shot. England led Andorra 1-0. This goal not only showed Kane's sense of goal as the core of the team's forward line, but Maduaike's assist was also crucial. His calm handling at critical moments opened the door to victory for the team. There are also rumors recently that Chelsea will sell Maduaike, and such a critical performance by the national team may change the minds of the club's senior management. In the subsequent games, England still took the initiative on the court. In the 61st minute, Kane turned around and shot from the outside of the penalty area. The ball was not fast, and the Andorra goalkeeper hugged the ball again. In the 70th minute, England took a corner kick from the right, and there was a melee in the penalty area, and Eze volleyed near the penalty area line and missed. In the 74th minute, Bellingham turned around and made a cross in the penalty area. Eze headed the ball. Andorra's goalkeeper reacted quickly and saved the ball from the baseline with one hand. Although England has created many scoring opportunities, they have never won another goal. Although Andorra is in a passive defensive state throughout the game, their tenacious defense has also caused England's offense to be repeatedly frustrated. After the game, England won the World Cup with this victory and won all three games in the World Cup, leading the standings with 9 points, while Andorra's three games were in the bottom, with 0 points. Judging from the game data, England has an absolute advantage. The ball possession rate of the whole game is as high as 83%, with as many as 751 passes, 19 shots and 10 shots; on the other hand, Andorra had only one shot in the game and failed to shoot directly, and the ball possession rate was only 17%. However, England's offensive efficiency was not satisfactory. Faced with Andorra's intensive defense, they lacked effective means of breaking defense and missed excellent opportunities many times. England created 4 excellent opportunities in the whole game, but only seized 1. After the game, England coach Tuchel said in an interview with the media that the team's performance in the final stage of the game was a little frustrated and his attitude was lacking, which made him very dissatisfied. He thought the team started well and created three expected goals, but only scored 1 goal, which means that the final hit was not accurate enough and lacked quality. This is the team's second training camp, and there are many places to do better, including himself.

Tuhull also mentioned that Declan Rice's condition is somewhat out of rhythm today, Jordan Henderson is worthy of appearance, and what he brings to the team is worthy of the starting lineup. Although the team started well, they later lost the rhythm and accuracy, and lost more decisive energy, resulting in not being able to score more goals. Tuchel stressed that it is necessary to look back carefully to clearly present the players with dissatisfaction, where they want to improve, and the team's standards.

This game also set a special record. In the match between England and Andorra, the two sides had met 7 times before. England had never lost and both won a big score. The 1-0 in this game was the first time that England won only 1 goal in one goal in Andorra. This also indirectly reflects that even when facing opponents whose strength is far lower than that, England has failed to win.
