托马斯·图赫尔的球队在温布利大球场对西班牙的禁区内触球36次，却在把握机会方面吃了一课。英格兰对西班牙的统治程度是近年来极少球队能达到的。遗憾的是，这不体现在进球上，也不体现在控球率上。但球权的归属不如球在场上何处发生重要。图赫尔的球队在客队禁区内触球36次，放在西班牙过去十年的背景下，这是一个荒谬的高数字。
Thomas Tuchel’s side had 36 touches in the Spain penalty area at Wembley but were given a lesson in taking chances England dominated Spain to an extent very few teams have in recent years. Sadly for them, not in terms of goals. Nor possession. But ownership of the ball is less important than where on the pitch it occurs. Thomas Tuchel’s side had 36 touches in the visitors’ penalty area, a ridiculously high total when put in context of Spain’s last decade.
他们在2026年世界杯上场均仅允许对手在禁区内触球9.5次。比利时、法国和阿根廷在锦标赛最后三轮中，在西班牙禁区内的触球总数合计为38次。自有记录以来（从2016年欧洲杯开始），对西班牙禁区触球最多的是德国队，在2024年欧洲杯四分之一决赛中触球45次。不过那场比赛踢了加时赛。法国队在去年荒诞的欧国联半决赛中常规时间触球42次，最终以4-5告负，随后是英格兰，在133场比赛的样本中，常规时间禁区触球数排名第二。
They allowed just 9.5 touches per 90 minutes at the 2026 World Cup. The combined efforts of Belgium, France and Argentinaed 38 touches in the Spain box in the final three rounds of the tournament. Since available records began (at the start of Euro 2016), the most box touches a side has had against Spain was the 45 Germany had in the quarter-final of Euro 2024. However, that game went to extra time. France had 42 in normal time in the ridiculous Nations League semi-final they lost 5-4 last year, then come England, second best in regular time from a sample of 133 matches.
