Thomas Tuchel inspired England's 4-2 victory against Croatia by unleashing fury from the touchline and delivering a rousing half-time speech to his 'nervous' stars.

The German manager's mixture of fiery rage and cold calculation amped up the Three Lions and saw them win their first World Cup match - after being level at 2-2 at half-time.

Two first-half goals from Harry Kane, a strike from Jude Bellingham shortly after the break, and a late bonus from substitute Marcus Rashford sent the nation delirious.

And Tuchel's impassioned behaviour - a side to his character which has strained relationships in the past - has been credited with helping England to win.

Early in the first half, he laid into goalkeeper Jordan Pickford for not following his instructions and held his ground even as the Everton star protested.

'You know what you’re supposed to do, do as I told you,' Tuchel reportedly said as he laid down the law to the experienced stopper, who is known for his own outbursts.

He got stuck into goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who is known for his outbursts himself

Fox Sports reporter Geoff Shreeves said: 'Just now Jordan Pickford was on his left side and off-balance and still picked up.

'Thomas Tuchel was straight out to the touchline and said "no, put it out to the right back, you don’t go that side".

EXCLUSIVE England's brutally frank Thomas Tuchel is the 'German with the wrong passport' who won't accept egos

'Pickford had a little go back and Tuchel was not impressed. He told him: "You know what you’re supposed to do, do as I told you!"'

Tuchel also subjected winger Noni Madueke to a fierce correction within the opening few minutes of his first World Cup match.

Not long after Kane had given England the lead via a penalty, he called over the Arsenal winger and commanded him to push higher up the pitch.

Tuchel stormed right over to the edge of the pitch and had Madueke stand within a couple of feet as he delivered his instructions. He was conducting himself in such a vehement way that he had to be calmed down.

TalkSPORT reporter Faye Carruthers said on their commentary: 'He has been so animated throughout the first 20 minutes.

'He brought over Madueke at one point, just after he won the penalty, and told him to get higher up the pitch.

Tuchel was livid that photographers blocked his view of his squad during the national anthem

While he ranted on the touchline, he delivered a calm half-time speech in the dressing room

'Anthony Barry [his assistant] had to calm him down at one point.'

It seems that Tuchel had been riled even before the match had begun.

The former Chelsea manager, in his first international job, has demanded that football's global governing body FIFA change the photography rules.

How Tuchel got England off to a flyer: The Jude treatment, the Arsenal trick and the half-time rant

He was irate that photographers blocked his view of his players during the national anthem, which he did not sing.

'I have to tell you something, I am begging FIFA to change the position of the photographers in the national anthem because I could not see my team in the national anthem,' he said.

'I was waiting for this moment. It was a very, very special moment today and I was standing in front of a wall of 50 photographers, half a metre away, and I could not see one single player. It ruined a little bit my experience.

'It is very emotional. When I was young and when I started coaching, this was too big to dream of this kind of occasion.'

Tuchel has long been known for his temper. In his time as a youth coach, he was known to lash out at certain less talented players when they were unable to carry out his instructions.

His management of Jude Bellingham appears to have been a masterstroke - he scored shortly after half-time

At Borussia Dortmund, the combustible boss once made a player called Emre Mor crawl on his hands and knees across the training ground pitch as a punishment for his apparent poor work ethic.

'Shut your mouth! Shut your mouth! Shut your mouth!' he shouted.

At Chelsea, after defeats against Brentford and Real Madrid, he revealed how he was furious throughout the night and had to eat inordinate amounts of chocolate as he tried to calm himself down.

He has had high-profile relational breakdowns with top players such as Kylian Mbappe, Romelu Lukaku, and Mats Hummels.

However, he also knows when to have ice in his veins - and demonstrated that in Dallas on Wednesday night.

At half-time, moments after England conceded a second goal, Tuchel allowed the players to have some quiet time before launching into stirring speech.

'I told them that my perception of them and of the last 17 days will not change with this result,' he later explained.

'I said that no matter what the result is, I want them to do it their way, our way. I want them to be brave, courageous, intense, on the front foot, and do it together, and just go for it, and, and try to take it, and be active.'

Tuchel gave precise instructions to his players and delivered them in a firm manner

Kane said of his speech: 'He told us to take the shackles off, calm down and let’s go. He said what’s the worst that can happen? Show the world who we can be.'

Bellingham added: 'It wasn’t one of those where it was a big drama or standing up and shouting, it was what the team needed.

'We have a mature group with great leaders in there; everyone knew the level we had to get to. The start of the second half gave us a great platform.'

Tuchel's management of Bellingham may well be a masterstroke. In October he left the Real Madrid superstar out of his England squad and he has insisted that big names will not get special treatment.

His firm management of Bellingham, including giving his attacking midfield rival Morgan Rogers plenty of game time, and saying his mother finds his sometimes moody behaviour 'repulsive', seems to have brought the best out of him.

Bellingham rewarded Tuchel with a fine goal within two minutes of the second half starting, showing how carefully he had listened at the break.

Tuchel's aim, in no uncertain terms, is to put a second star on England's jersey. In other words, to win a second World Cup.

On his first interaction with the squad, a moving presentation which has gone viral recently, he said: 'The reason I took this job was you,'

This was Tuchel's view during the national anthem - do you think this is fair on him?

'The mission is clear. To be world champions. We should speak about that straight away. I want to arrive here at the top with the toughest group in the world, a team that nobody wants to play against.'

He added: 'It's not only about football. It's not only about offensive, deep build-up and offensive and defensive patterns.

'It's not only about set-pieces. It's a big, big part, but in international football, and especially in international football, it's not only about football.

'I spoke to a World Cup winner and he said the difference between the quarter-final and the win was the same level, the same quality of players, but once we arrived as a brotherhood, we were ready to die for each other.

'It would have been no problem if camp was two months, so we stayed two months in the camp - no problem - because we loved each other. Let's build, guys, let's build something special until we arrive here in the US. Let's go again.'

He pointed to a graphic showing the Mount Everest summit and six camps.

'I want to arrive here on top when it gets really tough, with the toughest group in the world,' he said.

'When we sit here on the plane and land, we know already: this will become a great camp and this will be a team no one wants to play against.

The German, 52, cuts an animated figure on the touchline but can turn cool when it counts

'And they will feel it. They will feel it in the mixed zone, they will feel it in the tunnel - they smell it.'

Tuchel, who turned a floundering Chelsea team into Champions League winners in a matter of months, is seen as a specialist in tournament football.

While his managerial style may grate on players on a day-to-day basis over the course of a season, a less hands-on gig with a national team may get the best out of his approach.

England face what should be more forgiving group games against Ghana and Panama, though the tournament has already provided its shocks.

Spain were held to a 0-0 draw by Cape Verde, the third-smallest nation to ever qualify for the World Cup.

A victory has already given England a good chance of advancing from the group stages and even just one more point from their remaining two games will most likely see them advance. That gives Tuchel more liberty to experiment.

It wasn't easy against the 11th-ranked team in the world on Wednesday.

England went into it with memories of their crushing 2-1 defeat in 2018 in the semi-finals of the World Cup in Russia.

In what would be a harbinger of drama to come, England opened their World Cup account in somewhat chaotic style, via a sensationally missed Harry Kane penalty - which was later re-taken, in style, after goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic was deemed to be off his line, and Josko Gvardiol was encroaching inside the box.

But England were by no means deserving of their lead, and a further sign of an unsettled crowd came with the first 'hydration break', which was roundly booed by fans in the stands experiencing it first-hand for the first time.

The pause, which felt particularly pointless inside an enclosed, air-conditioned Dallas Stadium, has been widely unpopular but the England fans made their dissent known in their own uniquely English way - chanting 'what the f***ing hell was that?'

After the pause, Croatian pressure told, with Martin Barurina firing in a wonder-strike to haul his nation level.

Kane bagged his second shortly after, via a spinning header from Declan Rice's well-struck corner, but again, England were unable to stay ahead for too long, with Petar Musa outsmarting Jordan Pickford this time, moments before half-time whistle.

So England trooped into the dressing-room level downcast, but what Tuchel and Co meted out in the bowels of the stadium worked: Bellingham, Tuchel's at times uncertain starter, rifled home a stunning third. Cooking with gas now, it took a heroic performance from Livakovic to keep out a barrage of English chances.

Second-half substitute Marcus Rashford completed the scoreline for England with a fine finish

One did slip through the net however, a spirits-raising goal for Marcus Rashford, for so long in the England wilderness but now making a case for a spot in the starting XI after coming off the bench to bury the fourth.

Gone was the cageyness most often found in the stands at England's matches of late; instead, England were cruising in Texas, and taking all three points back to Kansas has ensured that the Three Lions have well and truly arrived Stateside.

Tuchel had inspired a marvellous turnaround - and that came after his assistant, Anthony Barry, admitted they had arrived with a 'nervous energy'.

He told ITV Sport in a candid half-time interview: 'A complicated and confusing first half from us, really.

'I think a lot of nervous energy early on. Maybe that should be accepted, and maybe expected in the opening game of a World Cup.

'From there, then we made some decisions where the energy was not free in our mind, playing long when we should play short, playing short when we should play long, really not playing through the gaps so not allowing us to accelerate our game the way we wanted to.

'Then you think the penalty would free us up, allow us to play more like us, look more like ourselves, but again we fall back into some fearful patterns, and yeah... we've always been able to rely on set pieces.

'We get the second goal again. We're hoping that's the moment that would allow us to move forward in the game, but okay, we concede the second goal later on, and now we have to speak about that at half-time.'
