Tuchel revels in returning players

After beating Club America, Thomas Tuchel was asked about several individuals who took part in the win that began our pre-season matches this weekend, but he began by summing up a contest in the United States that he said provided a significant step-up from the training so far.

An unfortunate own-goal by Reece James cancelled out a Timo Werner opener early in the second half after a different 11 began the second period compared with the first half.

However Mason Mount struck superbly later on for a confidence-building win against a Mexican side who are mid-season.

‘It was a very difficult match against very difficult opponents in an environment like playing in a full stadium,’ analysed Tuchel.

‘The first half was tough for us to create clear chances, we couldn’t score but kept a clean sheet and the second half we found better solutions, and looked more dangerous. So a very good second half, a good first half. We deserved to win and I’m happy that we took that.’
