"We need to get the foundation right to have a chance to have these records. Just by thinking about it or by talking about it, nothing will change. We need to deliver again. The feeling and the trust is absolutely there because I witnessed this in camp. I trust my players to perform again."
"Qualifying for the play-offs is historic for us and I believe we should all feel lucky to live in this era. Our objective was second place. We knew that we would have a very difficult time against England - not impossible, because in football anything can happen, but we knew that it would be difficult. To be honest, anything can be expected from [our] team [against England]. It is a law of football that any result can happen."
Finishing qualifying with a 100 percent record and without conceding remains a potential achievement for England if they beat Albania, which would make them the first European team to do so. Thomas Tuchel insists that the team is not motivated by records and emphasizes the need to build a solid foundation, deliver performances and trust the players. Albania secured second place in Group K and focus on the March play-offs after beating Andorra. Albanian FA president Armand Duka described qualifying for the play-offs as historic, acknowledged the difficulty of facing England, and expressed belief that anything can happen. Neither side reported new injury issues following their recent victories.
