Before their friendly match against New Zealand this weekend, Tuchel emphasized the team's goals. He stated that the mission is clear: to become world champions and earn a second star on their jersey.

Tuchel shared a conversation he had with a World Cup winner, who noted that the difference between reaching the quarterfinals and the finals is often a matter of teamwork and camaraderie. The manager emphasized that England's team must work together and be willing to make sacrifices for each other.

Tuchel encouraged his players to focus on the task at hand and strive to do something special. The team's next matches are against New Zealand on Saturday and Costa Rica on Wednesday, and they must start to find their rhythm in order to be ready for the World Cup.
