As a result of the incredible strike that he scored in tonight’s match, fans of England are demanding that Thomas Tuchel call up a player who is under the age of 21.
Following the match that they played against Albania on the previous Friday, the senior team of England is currently competing against Latvia at Wembley Stadium in their second World Cup qualifying match of the season.
In a victory that marked the beginning of a new era, Tuchel led the Three Lions to a 2-0 victory over Albania.
After participating in the “most expensive youth game” against France, Lee Carsley’s under-21 team will be competing against Portugal at The Hawthorns tonight. This is not the only England team that will be competing tonight; the senior team will also be competing.
In addition, the under-21 team quickly took the lead by two goals within the first ten minutes of the match.
The first goal was scored by Hayden Hackney of Middlesbrough, and then Ethan Nwaneri, a promising young player for Arsenal, equalised the score for his team.
Nwaneri, who had just made his debut for England under-21 the previous week, was given the opportunity to start against Portugal, and he did not waste any time in answering his manager’s confidence.
The young man, who was only 18 years old at the time, made a cut onto his left foot and then curled a spectacular shot into the back of the net.
Fans who are active on social media believe that Tuchel ought to include the teenage sensation in his next squad.
The following is a comment made by a user on X: “Ethan Nwaneri playing with under 21 looks like 25 years old playing with 16 years old… Just do what you want, Tuchel.
An additional individual stated: “I will be there when Ethan Nwaneri gets his England call up.”
“Rushing” Ethan Nwaneri into the England squad is not something that should be done.
Martin Keown, a former great of Arsenal, believes that Nwaneri should not be rushed, despite the fact that he is in better form than Jack Grealish and Phil Foden. His club teammate Myles Lewis-Skelly is already in Tuchel’s plans.
“I believe that we need to take this step at a slow pace,” Keown explained.
“We don’t want to be pushing these players right the way through, but I’m not really seeing too many players [to get in front of Nwaneri].”
Keown continued by saying, “I’m looking at Grealish not playing, Foden now not at his best – of course, he’s still a great player.”
When I consider the various other options available, I don’t believe that Nwaneri is a million miles away.
“It may be that he plays [Under] 21s football, he’s 17 years of age, so let’s not get carried away.”
