England manager Thomas Tuchel expressed satisfaction with his team's aggressive display in their 2-0 victory over Panama. The German coach believes that with the knockout stages approaching, the tournament essentially restarts, and his players must harness all their strength and energy to progress.
"We did what was necessary. We anticipated a tough match against a physically strong opponent, and that's exactly what we got against Panama. We aimed to be as aggressive as possible, yet also extremely careful to avoid mistakes. Ultimately, we secured the win.
It was a fantastic performance from Bellingham, but everyone played their part. It's great that Kane broke the record, but this won't be the end for him.
We could have achieved more in the final 20 minutes, but our opponents also increased their aggression, pushing for a goal. Now the tournament begins anew as the direct eliminations start. We'll need to be fully focused and see how far we can go.
We need to assess the situations with Declan Rice and Jarell Quansah. We have three or four days until the next match. I hope everything is alright with them," Tuchel stated after the win against Panama.
