Tuchel on Mexico v England: I regret not eating the grass

Thomas Tuchel surprised with his remarks on the podcast with Daniel Sturridge, where he spoke about the match between Mexico and England in the World Cup round of 16.

"I texted a friend after the match and told him: 'I regret not having eaten some of the grass after the match so I could have a bit of this in my body forever. That’s how important that moment was,'" he said.
