Tuchel stands by his defensive choices in semi-final, regrets the timing

The English manager defends his substitutions against Argentina but acknowledges making them too early.

Thomas Tuchel continues to justify his defensive tactical changes during the semi-final lost against Argentina last summer. The English coach explains that Argentina's offensive approach forced him to strengthen the defense, particularly after Anthony Gordon's opening goal. However, Tuchel admits he made the mistake of implementing them too early. He points to fatigue and the success of the five-man defense against Mexico and Norway to justify his conservative strategy.
