"I got a bit of stick today in the first half, so fair enough. I take it in good humour, with a good sense of humour. I accept it. They had a reason today from my last comments and I guess that's fair enough. I got a bit of stick and I found it quite creative. It made me smile and this is how it has to be. It's British humour and I surely can take it. No harm done."
"It's so important. They are here and I said the support in Serbia was brilliant. The support today was brilliant and we are very sure the support in America will be absolutely brilliant. We need it. It makes such a difference if you go out as a player or as a coach and you see the fans behind the team and singing."
Thomas Tuchel accepted pointed chants from travelling England supporters during the 5-0 win in Riga after he had criticised home support following the Wales match. He said he took the chants in good humour, called them creative and that they made him smile, adding "No harm done." Tuchel praised the supporters' impact, citing strong backing in Serbia and confidence that support in America for the World Cup will be outstanding. He said crowd singing and visible backing boost players and coaches, and emphasised the desire to make fans proud and happy. Harry Kane scored twice and impressed with work rate and leadership.
