00:00now the first international break of the new season begun over the weekend and it's been an

00:07intriguing one for both England and Wales let's start with the three lions under Thomas Tuchel

00:14England continue to look more structured and disciplined as the games go on a comfortable

00:202-0 win over Andorra at Villa Park wasn't exactly thrilling but it's underlined Tuchel's focus on

00:26control and intensity his decision to streamline the squad to just 24 players shows a desire for

00:33unity in competition while his selection raised eyebrows Ruben Loftus-Cheek earned a recall

00:39after nearly seven years away while fresh talent like Elliot Anderson and Miles Lewis-Skelly

00:45highlighted a willingness to trust emerging stars the latter even made history as England's

00:52youngest ever scorer on debut there's no doubt England look better organized than before but

00:58questions remain over Tuchel's reluctance to unleash more attacking flair and the fans are expecting

01:05big things from the new manager

01:07I think that's coming I expect another game with a lot of possession for us in Belgrade against a very

01:16different style of play but but same same deep low block so I expect from from the from the quality and

01:24from the way that the players play in the Premier League I expect us to have again a lot of a lot of a ball

01:30possession it is then about like where to speed up the game and and to maybe focus on the details

01:37today we we attacked with wider wing back with wider full backs with Risi and Miles bit wider and Risi was

01:44involved in the goals and in the chances so we need to focus on that we just can play the the opponents

01:51that is there we are the favourites in this qualification group we we accepted we have the quality to to win this

01:57group we want to win the group we demand it from ourselves and and and and this is the way forward so

02:04very different very different opponent very different style of play very different players on a very

02:11different setting with an away game on Tuesday but I expect again a lot of a lot of ball possession

02:19this is what's coming and maybe this will this will stay like this to have the ball

02:24and and and this is this is also a part of the dominance and part of the quality our of our players

02:33so that's what it is and I think he's a proven manager I like him actually Champions League winner

02:40obviously not so good in the friendly so far but we're never that good at friendlies anyway I feel

02:45like we'll do well in the major tournaments I feel like we have to do in the major tournaments I have a

02:48lot of a lot of hope for this I think we've got the best team in the world pound for pound now to

02:54Wales and Craig Bellamy is simply stamping his mark they look vibrant fearless and packed with youthful

02:59energy a gritty 1-0 win away at Kazakhstan showed Bellamy's faith in youth products is paying off

03:05with the likes of Dylan Lawler impressing on debut his high tempo front foot football has transformed

03:12Cymru into a team that believes fights and entertains

03:15and so yeah that leaves me excited with Brody because I believe there's a there's a really good

03:21footballer there he has the benchmarks especially with intensity to really to really flourish there

03:29so yeah and with Wardy game time as well which is great and Wardy's worked hard to get to where

03:37he has as well he had a tricky spell last year came through it mentally as well so I'm delighted to see

03:45him playing for Wrexham as well as his club but yeah it's just the journey of Wrexham I think we're all

03:52captivated by it and it's been it's been amazing for Welsh football and hopefully in a number of years

03:58as well we'll see young players coming through that and surely you know whether it's Swansea

04:05Newport Cardiff Wrexham the better they do then the better chance we have of being a stronger nation

04:11in football so um so always positive and so the picture is becoming clearer England under Tuchel are

04:19organised and improving but still searching for that spark to ignite supporters meanwhile Bellamy's

04:26Wales are playing with freedom flair and a fearlessness that's turning heads across Europe

04:31first managers are at a very different stage of their journey but one thing is certain the road to
