England were ‘waiting for death’ in World Cup semi-final defeat, says Tuchel
England’s visible fatigue and their success with a five-man defence in wins over Mexico and Norway influenced his decision to sit on the lead against Argentina.
Thomas Tuchel, the England manager, has stated that his team were "waiting for death" in their World Cup semi-final defeat against Argentina. The German coach has defended his controversial defensive substitutions in the second half, which allowed Argentina to take control of the game. Tuchel claims that England were unable to cope with Argentina's more attacking changes, and that fatigue and a desire to maintain possession contributed to his decision to sit on the lead.
Despite widespread criticism, Tuchel remains haunted by the loss and believes that his substitution strategy was the best option given the circumstances.
