🚨🎙️ Thomas Tuchel on England’s first half vs Spain:
🗣️ “We started the game well and had a clear plan. Unfortunately, a mistake from Marc Guéhi gave Spain the opportunity to score, and suddenly we found ourselves 1-0 down. But the important thing is that we didn’t lose control of the game.
We continued to play, kept possession, pushed forward and created the pressure needed to get back into the match. Once we scored the equaliser, the momentum completely changed. We then found another goal shortly after and turned the game around to make it 2-1.
Now we have the lead, we have the momentum and we are controlling the game. But we cannot think the job is finished. Spain are a dangerous team with quality players, and if we give them space, they can punish us.
The second half will be about mentality. If we continue playing with the same intensity, stay disciplined and take our chances, we have a real opportunity to finish this game strongly. We came from 1-0 down, turned it into 2-1, and now we have to show that we can manage the lead and complete the comeback.”
