Head coach of Three Lefts called on the team to show modesty and proper training before the World Championship 1/16 final match against the African team.
Head coach of the England national team Thomas Tuchel stated that the uncontested pre-season victories of the national teams of Germany and the Netherlands from the world championship play into the hands of his team. According to the leader, these sensations will calm the English people and help ease the pressure of fear before the 1/16 final match against the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which will take place on Wednesday in Atlanta..
England will go into the match at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium as outright favourites.. DR Congo has never previously reached the playoff stage in its history, so the English will try to win their other World Cup 60 years after a single triumph.
The game will be full of shocking news: just two days before, Germany sensationally lost to Paraguay, and the Netherlands lost to Morocco at the same stage of the tournament. In response to journalists’ concerns that the losses of the favorites in the 1/16 finals ahead of England have become heavier, Tuchel is philosophical:.
“The match between the Netherlands and Morocco sounds like a quarter-final or semi-final, and the match between Brazil and Japan, insanely, is going to be a quarter-final of any tournament through both teams,” said Fakhivets..
The coach emphasizes that the difference between the teams in this tournament is minimal:.
" Canada won in a compensatory hour against Pivdenny Africa, Morocco equaled the rakhunok at the addition of an hour, and then brought it to the right to the end. Germany went to a penalty shootout. I think we can be calmed down by singing. These are intense football matches, and this helps us not to comprehend and correctly evaluate those that are taking place at this world championship,” said the specialist.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is in 46th place in the FIFA rankings (projected to move up five positions), while England are in 4th place.. With such a gap in class, Tuchel sees himself underestimating his opponent, especially considering the difficult course of the English in the group stage (a draw with Ghana and an important victory over Panama).
" For any team, it is important to spoil them, especially if you come as a favorite and are facing rivals who waste nothing. Our supernik is gratifying in the role of an outsider, which is now easier,” the mentor said.
Tuchel said that his sons are ready to enter the field with cool heads and not lose respect to the paper:.
" Nothing changes for us. We will have a modest approach, for which we take special care of ourselves. It doesn’t matter that tomorrow you’ll show the FIFA rankings and what kind of game it is for my thoughts. We are sure that it is powered up, so you can put the game on while it is playing. For which we need freedom, the right attitude, we need to be calm and ready to fight. I think that we are very happy,” summed up Tuchel.
