Roy Keane Branded Thomas Tuchel 'Harsh' because of his criticism of the England of Gareth Southgate this week.
And the Irishman threw down the glove and demanded that the German gets results before he has too much badmouth.
Earlier this week, Tuchel suggested that England was missing 'identity', 'excitement', and 'hunger to win' at Euro 2024 – despite the three lions that reached the final.
It was a wonderful reproach from the team system that Southgate had built, especially in view of the fact that Tuchel has only just started in the role, but one that resonated with fans.
“It seems a bit hard, because they clearly won a few football matches there, and there were many teams that had a good identity, but they came back for England,” Keane ITV told Albania's world cup qualification to Albania on Friday.
'It's good and good with a good game, they have to perform.
'But yes, it looks a bit hard on Gareth (Southgate), but I know where he comes from, a certain playing style, they were heavily criticized despite winning football matches, but I still think we should not get away from Gareth who does a good job with England.
“He has a great plan, right? Let's see how that comes to the fore. '
Ian Wright had more sympathy with Tuchel and agreed with the points that Tuchel had taken over.
He said: 'It is his second language, I think he is just very honest, brutally honest about what he said.
'Don't forget that we have changed our midfield three times, so maybe that's what he looks at. The way he talked about it does not sound great, but I think he was right, we did not do that (have a clear style).
'By the time we arrived at the final, we knew exactly how Spain would play, we were not entirely sure how we were. So maybe that's what he was talking about. '
Tuchel has been introduced for the job in England with a 18 -month contract and a clear goal: win the World Cup 2026 in the US, Canada and Mexico.
That is easier said than done, but Tuchel has a record of winning titles, in particular the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021 only four months after the job is accepted.
The 51-year-old is experienced in dealing with elite players, who has also won trophies in Bayern Munich-where he coached Harry Kane Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund.
He gave a destructive judgment about where England went on a wandering last summer and told ITV that the missing ingredients were: “The identity, clarity, the rhythm, the repetition of patterns, the freedom of player, the expression of player, the hunger.
“They were more afraid to go out of the tournament in my observation than the excitement and hunger to win.”
About what he wants from England instead, Tuchel said: 'I want the opponents to come out and see our team in the tunnel in a row they know, this will be difficult, they will give us difficult, these guys are a difficult time, they are a difficult time, this is a difficult time, this is a difficult time.
'You can be sure that if I say something in a press conference, I have tackled it to the players. The players know my assessment (from Euro 2024) but this is not even tackled.
“It is being tackled” what I want now “. The message is in front. I felt that they were stopping – the group did not play with sufficient excitement and togetherness to make it happen. '
