Thomas Tuchel spoke ahead of the England-Albania match. The 2026 World Cup qualifiers for both teams will begin tomorrow at Wembley.
In the usual press conference, the coach of the "3 Lions" stated:
" Watching the European Championship, I felt tension and pressure on the players' feet. It seemed like they were playing not to lose more than with the emotion of bringing something special. We need to change that."
I want us to play with emotion, hunger and desire to win. Accepting failure is part of football. You have to implement unity and the fact that everyone feels safe to show themselves and give their best. Play with the desire to win and not the fear of losing.
I think when we play now, everyone needs to know their role on the field, play with discipline. We need to connect a little better, find more rhythm and connections on the field.
We have to show that we are ready for tomorrow. It is great that we will play against Albania and with the stadium full, very exciting. I am a little nervous, but it is part of the emotions. I am always nervous before matches, it could not be any different now.
"Now is the time to take a step forward, we must have respect for Albania, for the quality and football that this opponent shows. We are not ignorant to say that we will dictate the game and others will follow us, everyone will try to find solutions against us ," Tuhel said, among other things.
