During the game, enthusiastic England fans joyfully chanted 'Are we loud enough for you?' at Tuchel, previously the manager of Chelsea. Acknowledging their jest, Tuchel humorously admitted, 'I got a bit of stick today, so fair enough.' He later commended their creativity and described it as typical British humor.
