The German coach urged FIFA to intervene in the matter. "I have to tell you something. I'm asking FIFA to change the photographers' positions during the national anthem, because I couldn't see my team then."
"I was waiting for this moment. Today was a very, very special moment, and I was standing in front of a wall of 50 photographers half a meter away from me, and I couldn't see a single player. It somewhat spoiled the experience for me," Tuchel stated, adding that he had dreamed of such an event since embarking on his coaching career.
At the championship, all players gather around the center circle during the anthems, with large flags of both countries unfurled on either side of the pitch. England entered the Group L matches with a 4:2 victory. The information was provided by the DPA agency.
