A beaming Thomas Tuchel speaks to ITV. “Brilliant, brilliant … such a good mood in the dressing room … it is our dream to go to America … we made it … another good performance … top result … six wins … clean sheet … very happy … we are dominant … hungry … a lot of ball wins in the opponent’s half … it’s good … we are on our way … it’s a club feel … very aggressive … a high press … very demanding … everyone needs to buy into the idea … the group is a very good group … a pleasure to coach them … it’s step by step.”
As for the England fans singing “Are we loud enough for you?!” [more grinning] “I got some stick in the first half … fair enough, well done … good sense of humour … no problem … I can handle it … brilliant support from start to finish!”
