England manager Thomas Tuchel believes the early World Cup exits of Germany and the Netherlands will help his team stay grounded as they prepare to face Congo DR.
Tuchel noted that seeing major nations leave the tournament early serves as a useful reminder not to expect too much too soon. He wants his players to focus solely on the task against Congo DR and avoid any sense of overconfidence. The manager explained that such results can settle nerves and encourage a more measured approach to the game. By keeping expectations in check, England can concentrate on their own performance without added pressure from recent history in big competitions.
