It was never the plan, but it happened.“(We) couldn’t stop the runners from the second line, the midfielders, through our gaps, and the deliveries were on the highest level.“You need to get back on the ball; otherwise you cannot break the pressure, and you cannot get the momentum back.“I think ball possession plays a crucial role; it’s maybe not in our DNA like it is in our Spanish DNA or in our Argentinian-Brazilian DNA, to take the ball and control the game with the ball.”Tuchel’s comments come ahead of England’s final match at the tournament.The Three Lions face France in Miami on Saturday night in the third-place play-off.Kick-off at the Hard Rock Stadium is scheduled for 10pm BST, live on talkSPORT.Listen talkSPORT through the website or find us on DAB digital radio through your smart speaker and on 1089 or 1053 AM.Download and listen to all our live commentaries via the talkSPORT app.For the latest odds and bet boosts for every big event, visit talkSPORT BET.Subscribe to the talkSPORT YouTube channel for news, views and analysis plus our regular goals show and for more, follow us on talkSPORT Facebook and talkSPORT on X.
