Tuchel's anger after photographers ruined his experience during World Cup national anthem

Thomas Tuchel was about to listen to the English national anthem for the first time as a national-team captain at a World Cup. He was then disturbed by photographers who blocked his view, the German says.

"It was a very, very special moment and I was standing half a meter from 50 photographers and couldn't see a single player. It ruined my experience a little bit today," Tuchel said after the 4-2 win against Croatia.

Tuchel gestured at the photographers - who had gathered in front of the coach's bench - but failed to get them to move. He is now asking FIFA for help.

"I beg FIFA to change the location of the photographers, because I couldn't see my team during the national anthem, and I had been waiting for this moment," Tuchel said.
