1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 11 England was reversed 1-3 by Senegal at home in a friendly match, and Tuchel suffered his first defeat since coaching the Three Lions.
When facing the media after the game, Tuchel said: “We just lost a warm-up match, there is no need to panic. We won all three World Cup qualifiers and scored 9 points. In September, we will be extremely competitive, and we will definitely be. The team will work hard to achieve two wins, 100%. Now we understand ourselves better and think more flexible.
“The team has indeed encountered some difficulties now. Of course, I am the most dissatisfied person. I must admit that I don’t like this kind of loss. But the World Cup won’t start next week, and we still have a year left. I think the process of selecting international players will naturally become more intense and the requirements for players will be higher.
“In September, October and November, we will enter the pre-World Cup season, which will also increase the intensity of competition. From then on, everything will be different.”
