The gaffer, who has the side looking rejuvenated, claims the heartbreaking experience back in the US has forged a bond among the players that will take them to the next level.

When asked if the World Cup loss has made his team better than ever during his post-match interview, the German answered: “Of course. We got the first medal in sixty years, and we didn’t go out in the group stage, so of course it made us stronger. Now, we’ve had a strong camp, and we’re at a high level. We’ve learned and got stronger and shown it through these matches.”

Thomas Tuchel praises England for performance against Czech Republic

After watching England produce a brilliant display on the pitch, Tuchel had nothing but positive things to say about his side.

The 53-year-old exclaimed: “It was a good match, very fluid. To put it into context, it’s the fourth match in 11 or 12 days, and I think we dominated for the entire match. We were very focused, created good opportunities, scored some wonderful goals, the substitutes were strong, and it was a good performance and a well-deserved win.”
