Roy Keane also left a harsh comment on England's defeat.
England lost to Senegal 1-3 in a friendly match at the City Ground in Nottingham, England, at 3:45 a.m. on the 11th (Korea Standard Time).
England pulled out a 4-4-2 formation. The two-top was Eze, Kane, Gordon, Rice, Gallagher and Saka in the midfield. The four-backs were Lewis-Skely, Colwill, Chalobah and Walker, while Henderson kept the goal.
Senegal responded with a 4-3-3 formation. The three-top was Ndiaye, Jackson and Sarr, while the midfield was formed by Kamara, Geye and Diara. Diouf, Niakate, Koulibaly and Diata worked together for the defense, while Mendy wore goalkeeper gloves.
England laughed first. Gordon hit a right footed shot from inside the penalty box in the seventh minute of the first half, but the goalkeeper saved it. Kane, who was right in front of the net, finished it neatly. England, who led by scoring the first goal, allowed Sar to equalize at the end of the first half, and the first half ended 1-1. In the second half, England was overturned. Diara, who received a pass from Koulibaly's defense back space in the 17th minute of the second half, had a one-on-one chance at once. There was no right angle, but he finished well and turned the tables. Senegal scored a goal in the extra time of the second half to break England's willingness to chase, winning a 3-1 victory.
It was the first defeat under Thomas Tuchel. Tuchel took the helm of England after Gareth Southgate, who resigned after finishing runner-up at the last UEFA Euro 2024. His term began this year, and he has won all three matches he has played so far. He beat Albania and Latvia 2-0 in the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup qualifiers, respectively, and also beat Andorra 1-0 on the 8th. He won three consecutive games, but lost to Senegal in a shocking upset.
Roy Keane, 스포츠토토 who played for Manchester United, said, "I don't want to overreact, but the outlook is not good. It has been a few tough days. I know England won recently, but there was no rhythm. I don't think it will be a good summer break for Tuchel. There seems to be something wrong and I am not satisfied with it. Is there a proper mentality in the team? I am not sure." Keane also said that when England players make a mistake during the game, they don't criticize each other and talk as if they are at a Starbucks.
