England head coach Thomas Tuchel shared his thoughts ahead of tomorrow’s UEFA Nations League clash against Croatia. Both teams currently sit on three points after the opening two rounds of the competition.
“In our recent training sessions, we focused on managing fatigue. The three-day break between sessions was very beneficial, allowing us to give extra care to high-performing players like Elliot Anderson and Anthony Gordon.”
“We are preparing for a tough match against a great footballing nation and a proud country — a team full of quality players. Their squad blends youth and experience, led by a young coach. Everyone will be motivated to give their all for the new manager.”
“This feels like a cup tie — perhaps a cup semifinal. I am a big admirer of Croatian players. Their technical ability is very high. It promises to be a compelling game.”
“Regarding our lineup, I told you two and a half weeks ago that I wanted to entrust responsibility to the core group of players. I still stand by that. I believe tomorrow we will have enough freedom in selection, but the fourth match could present challenges,” Tuchel told BBC Sport.
