Maduaike: Tuchel hopes we play more directly; overall satisfied with the team s performance

Hupu September 6th, the European group stage of the World Cup, England 2-0 Andorra. After the game, Maduaike was interviewed.

Maduaike said: "First of all, it's important to win the game and keep the zero-block. Of course, we know what the game will look like. Sometimes it's frustrating. But the key is to score goals and win the game, the team won, so I'm happy."

Speaking of England's tactical thinking in the game, Maduaike added: "Tuchel wants us to play more directly. England's second goal is a good example. Reese James is top-notch, it's a nice cross, and Rice's shot is also very good. We won the game, World Cup qualifiers, clean the opponent, play I'm happy to score two goals. They're really hard to deal with. When you face 11 players who are intensively defending in the 30-meter area, it's hard for any team in the world. Today is better than last time against them, we played smoother. We should have scored more goals, but overall I'm very happy with the overall performance of the team."

Madouaike was also impressed by Anderson's performance in the national team's debut, saying: "I knew he was great because when we were against Nottingham Forest, he always performed well. I knew he would play that way, he was great and fully adapted to the game."
