Bangkok: England manager Thomas Tuchel praised his team after the "Three Lions" defeated France 6-4 to secure third place in the World Cup, expressing confidence that England is developing to the same level as other world giants.
According to Thai News Agency, Tuchel highlighted the historical context of the match by noting France's recent accomplishments. "Eight years ago, France were champions. Four years ago, they reached the final. Before this game, France were considered slightly superior to England, but England's victory has narrowed that gap. Their next target will be Spain," Tuchel stated.
This victory marks a significant achievement for England, signaling their growing strength on the international stage and setting their sights on rivaling established football powers in future competitions.
