‘My scar, not your scar’: Tuchel stands by England semi-final subs but admits wrong timing

Coach says Argentina’s gung-ho approach forced hand
‘No one is more hurt than me, no one wanted it more’

Thomas Tuchel stands by his heavily criticised defensive substitutions in the World Cup semi-final defeat against Argentina this summer, but the England head coach accepts he made them too early.

Tuchel said England were “waiting for death”, unable to cope with the attacking tactics adopted by Argentina in Atlanta as they chased the game after Anthony Gordon’s opener on the hour. He said fatigue and the success of defending with a back five in knockout games against Mexico and Norway also influenced his decisions to sit on the lead.
