“We also have specialists with us for all different kinds of scenarios, for when we are leading games and chasing them.
We always said that we wanted to be a strong set-piece team; we have specialists for that,” said Tuchel in the conference following the squad announcement.

[Tactical Football Analysis @TotalAnalysis]

Thomas Tuchel's England take on Croatia with a coded set-piece system that could prove decisive. Croatia will need answers for all of it.

A few tactical observations from Karim El-Shesheiny:

1️⃣ Blockers screen man-markers using calculated starting positions.

England place players directly in the path of their runners' markers, so the defender runs into the block. The positioning makes it look like the defender's fault - no foul given. Croatia's ageing defensive line will be tested physically every single time.

2️⃣ A dedicated player pins the goalkeeper throughout the delivery.

This stops the keeper from claiming the cross and simultaneously keeps the far-post runner onside by ensuring his marker breaks the offside line after the first touch. Livaković will not be allowed to dominate his box.

3️⃣ Against zonal marking, England exploit the extra free players it creates.

If Croatia sit in a zonal shape, more zonal defenders means fewer man-markers. Morgan Rogers times his blindside block to the exact moment Rice raises his hand - the defender's attention shifts to the cross and the damage is already done.

4️⃣ Outswing deliveries target space the zonal line doesn't cover.

Kane arrives late and unmarked into areas beyond the defensive structure entirely. When Croatia push the line higher to counter this, England switch to low-driven near-post deliveries into the space left behind.

5️⃣ Marc Guéhi adds an individual layer the system.

His near-post feint forces a binary decision on the marker - track the ball or track Guéhi. Both answers give him separation to the far post. Croatia's markers will have no good option.

After that, he framed the goal and followed the ball at the far post, and he scored the goal.

To make sure that this player is onside even if the first zonal defender pushes up and leaves the post, the player in black we talked about stood behind the two zonal defenders
