" “Having analyzed the match and started the song, that’s where my responsibility comes from.”.

The German leader is confident that he is not at fault about his decisions, and the team, in his opinion, showed a very high level of performance.

" The team gave all their strength, and we were even closer, even closer. We deserved to lead 1:0 to the rakhunka"

Tuchel also called this fight one of the best of the British team.

" The team was on top, we couldn’t bring the right to the end, otherwise I won’t harm anything.”.

The mentor took into account the character of his players, who, in his words, faced numerous difficulties during the tournament.

“I respect you, throughout this match we developed character and great team. “We played in the same minds as we did: we stood up to strong teams in the group, fought great battles, played at high altitudes, played in tens, played against the spec - and we suffered skin breakdowns,” said the coach.

After defeat in the semifinals, England will play France in the match for third place at the World Cup 2026. The fight will take place on the night from 18 to 19.
