England's interim manager, Lee Carsley, has promised that his team will keep up their attacking style when they face Finland in the Nations League on Tuesday.
Carsley’s first game in charge saw England secure an impressive 2-0 victory against Ireland in Dublin on Saturday. Originally the England Under-21 coach, Carsley was temporarily promoted after Gareth Southgate stepped down following the Euro 2024 final loss to Spain in July. Now, he's getting ready for his first match as manager of the Three Lions at Wembley.
After goals from Declan Rice and Jack Grealish highlighted England's creative play last weekend, Carsley is hoping for another strong performance against the lowest-ranked team in Group B2.
“I still want to see us playing with that control. I think it’s important that we’re exciting to watch,” he told reporters on Monday.
“I think when fans come to watch England play at home they expect attacking football, they expect chances to be created and to play with a tempo and us to be on the ball.
“So, yeah, I wouldn’t see that being any different (on Tuesday).”
