Despite frequent injuries, Reece James (25, Chelsea) remained in class.
England thrashed Latvia 3-0 in the second Group K match of the 2026 World Cup qualifier held at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday (Korea time). England maintained its lead in Group K with two wins and six points.
James returned to the national team for the first time in two years and contributed the most to the victory. Starting as a right fullback, he scored one goal, created one opportunity, made 99 percent of pass success rate (96/97), 118 touches, 18 passes to areas where offense and defense took place, two successful tackles and one tackle.
In particular, a fantastic free-kick goal in the 38th minute of the first half was James' A-match debut goal and a scene showing his class.
Naturally, it was up to James to play the best player after the end of the game, and he finished his second comeback in two years perfectly, scoring 8.8 points, the highest rating for both teams.
Through this day's performance, James proved once again that he is a world class as long as there is no injury.
He has continued his professional career at Chelsea since 2018 except for the period when he left for Wigan in the middle.
He has displayed impressive capability as he has scored 13 goals and 23 assists in 172 matches. Moreover, under Coach Encho Maresca, he has good understanding of tactics to the extent that he has played as a midfielder.
However, he has the drawback of being extremely glassy. As of March 2025, James missed a whopping 743 days due to injury from the 2019-20 season. He played 130 games during the period, which is equivalent to the number of games he played.
Nevertheless, it is clear why Chelsea is paying 250,000 pounds (470 million won) per week to the captaincy armband. As long as Chelsea returns from injury and stands on the field, they will display overwhelming performance in both offense and defense.
This is the same reason why Thomas Tuchel, head coach of the England national team, called James, who has lost his sense of play throughout the season. 온라인카지노
James, who successfully completed his A-match debut in two years, said, "It was a long time, a frustrating two years. I was really happy to be called back by the England team."
In addition, he said, "I thought I could wrap it around looking at the wall. I was a little surprised that the goal went in."
