The question of whether or not Thomas Tuchel would sing England’s national anthem was pondered in the early days of his tenure.
When it came to his first major tournament game with England, though, it turned out the German manager had the experience “ruined” by the massive scrum of photographers blocking his view of his players singing.
“I am begging Fifa to change the position of the photographers in the national anthem because I could not see my team in the national anthem,” Tuchel said.
“I was waiting for this moment. It was a very, very special moment today and I was standing in front of a wall of 50 photographers, half a metre away, and I could not see one single player. It ruined a little bit my experience.”
