Tuchel: England Are Favourites but Must Respect DR Congo
England boss Thomas Tuchel admits his side head into the World Cup Round of 32 game against DR Congo as clear favourites. He stresses, however, that his players cannot afford to underestimate the African side. Tuchel says it is a privilege to carry the pressure of high expectations and that England’s fans have a right to demand progress. He points to narrow margins in recent knockout ties as proof that no opponent can be taken lightly. The German coach praised DR Congo’s performances in the group stage, notably against Portugal and Colombia. England will be without Reece James and Jarell Quansah after injuries ruled them out of the match.
