England coach Thomas Tuchel said they are facing a very compact, strong and disciplined side in the Round of 32 match against DR Congo.
"They (DR Congo) are very strong. They have a lot of good players in their team who have already proven themselves. They are tactically very good, physically strong and work well among themselves. I think they are a very compact team," Tukhel said at a press conference ahead of the match today (Friday).
"We have to break them down and let them play our game. Hopefully we can handle this challenge well."
