Head coach of the England national team Thomas Tuchel commented on his team’s victory in the match for the third place of the 2026 emergency against France (6:4).

" It was clear what a difference the physical fitness of the Gravians had after one additional day of repair - we were already tired and exhausted after the rest of the year. Great praise and deep respect for the attitude we demonstrated by overcoming all difficulties.

I was afraid of physical advances, since we know the jealousy and splendor of the French. They have one more day to prepare for the finals, and they have a little more time to get up and down. They played in the heat, on high and in some other minds. I was turbulent, and in the other half it was apparently judged that’s why. Ale men not turbulent mood of the team. This team did something truly special, and they showed it again.

Morgan got everything right. I just felt like I had a feeling at the finals that something special was going to happen to me. Axis and everything. The matches present very high stakes, and we have to make changes through this process. Bukayo showed that he was a key graver - who had no doubts. I really don’t understand that having scored a hat-trick, I let it out of the spotlight, but I completely deserved it.

It was only because of this that France was the champion, despite the fate of which it reached the final, so the gap between the teams was small and we wanted it to be short.

The first krok to our mark - we won them, we beat them. The meta is coming - a match against Spain at Liza natsiy.

Bachiti, as a team to fight like that, it gives energy. Then I'll come back later. In the hour before the final we can still feel more pain, and it’s been an hour, but in general the game gives less energy and takes less energy,” the FA press service quotes Tuchel as saying..
