😅 Say what!? Tuchel regrets not eating World Cup turf | OneFootball

You’ll probably have to read this several times to be sure you understood it correctly. Yes, Thomas Tuchel really said it! He regrets not having eaten some World Cup grass.

The round-of-16 match in Mexico against the World Cup hosts at the Azteca Stadium apparently stayed on his mind for a long time. To keep it in his memory even longer, he says he would have loved to have had a little taste of it.

The documentary by the English Football Association, FA ("Reflections: England's World Cup Journey"), is being released this Wednesday. In it, the England coach tells Daniel Sturridge in an interview about a message he sent to a friend: "And I simply wrote: I regret that I didn’t eat a bit of grass after the match so that I could keep a part of it in my body forever. I just had this urge. That’s how it was in that moment." Simply wild.

Tuchel still appears captivated by the tournament in the documentary, as 't-online.de' reports. In a dramatic match, the 'Three Lions' beat Mexico 3–2. The England team played for nearly one half with a man down, but still managed to hold on for the win in the end.

Would you ever try grass too, or does that sound too crazy to you? Feel free to share your opinion with us in the comments.
