Reece James scored his A-match debut with a fantastic free-kick goal.
England beat Latvia 3-0 in the second leg of the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League quarterfinals at Wembley Stadium in London at 4:45 a.m. on Saturday (Korea time). England has achieved its second consecutive victory under Thomas Tuchel.
James played as the starting pitcher for the first time since 2022. The Chelsea youngster won the UEFA Champions League in the 2020-21 season and continued his strides at Chelsea after returning to the UEFA Euro 2020. However, he had a hard time, suffering from frequent injuries. According to the soccer statistics website "Transfermarkt," he failed to play in 743 days from the 2019-20 season and suffered 21 injuries.
Last season, he had hamstring surgery and could not play in a few matches at all, before starting the season desperate. Under Enzo Maresca, he played 14 official matches and recovered to form by scoring two goals and one assist. Tuchel, his former teacher, joined the England national team for the first time in a long time after joining the team. The match against Latvia was his first start in two and a half years and his first in 910 days.
He even scored his debut goal for the English national team. He played kicker in the 38th minute of the first half and shook the net as his sharply curled shot marked a fantastic trajectory. James looked stiff right after the score. His teammates rushed to him and hugged him, but he did not perform any special ceremony. England completed its 3-0 victory thanks to consecutive goals scored by Harry Kane and Echeverrie Eze.
James was named the "Official Most Valuable Player" on the day. Based on "Foot Mob," James received 8.8 points, the highest rating in his team. During the 90-minute period, he scored one goal, had 99 percent pass success rate (96 out of 97), key pass once, ball touch 118 times, cross twice, long pass twice, tackle once, recovery eight times, and competition twice.
After the game, James explained why he didn't do the ceremony. He said, "It's been such a long time. It's been a frustrating two years. I was so happy to be back in the national team. I was surprised that the goalie scored. I think it was hard for the goalie to block the ball. Tuchel's vision is clear. We have one goal, and it started for the World Cup." Roy Keane praised him, "It looks like David Beckham's goal." 온라인카지노
Tuchel also congratulated James on his debut goal, saying, "I know James. I know he is amazing in quality. He is proud of his achievements, happy, and has every right to be satisfied."
