Thomas Tuchel talked about the importance of maintaining positivity after England lost on Saturday evening.
The German watched World Cup champions Spain show levels to their opposition with a 3-2 win at Wembley Stadium on the weekend as Álex Baena and Mikel Oyarzabal came off the bench to bring about a comeback.
Czechia trip up next
Next on the schedule for the side is a trip to the Fortuna Arena, where Czechia stopped a 43-game unbeaten run in tournament qualifiers for the Three Lions back in 2019. It would be a surprise to see the hosts manage to repeat the feat, but dropped points for England will harm their hopes for a top-two finish in their group.
Tuchel refuses to say that this fixture as a ‘must-win’ affair for the team at this stage of the Nations League tournament. However, he knows nothing will bring happiness to the camp and the country like getting back to winning ways, so he hopes the three points go the way of England on Tuesday.
“Overall, we have a lot a lot of positives to take away, not the result, but every everything else. And this is where we are. So, the headline is maybe to reproduce it. Total different circumstances, totally different setup of a match, but it's in the Nations League.
“You always need a result in football to get the confidence and to get the support and to get the belief you always need and especially after a defeat.
“Even if everyone in camp truly believed and even the players truly believed that that this is the way to go forward and that that we had a good performance, even then you just you know just need it for yourself and for the belief and to show straight away your reaction.”
