England's new head coach Thomas Tuchel slid into his technical area almost unnoticed after the deafening fanfare that greeted the start of his reign at Wembley.
He missed fireworks, pyrotechnics, a deafening drum-and-bass track commissioned in his honour by the Football Association entitled "Thomas Tuchel's Army", plus a giant banner stretching across one end of the ground welcoming him to "The Home of Football".
Tuchel's own entrance was a low-key affair, setting the tone for a low-key occasion for Gareth Southgate's successor. The excitement and intensity the German promised will have to wait for another day after this scrappy 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Albania.
