ATLANTA \u2014 How does England coach Thomas Tuchel handle the pressure of a run to the semifinals of the World Cup<\/a> ?<\/p>

Simple. A bike, a parking lot and an ice cream.<\/p>\n

Tuchel said ahead of England\u2019s World Cup semifinal against Lionel Messi’s Argentina<\/a> that he relaxes by reconnecting with his inner child.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes you just go on a bike and then you just need a big parking lot, an ice cream in your hand for 15 minutes on a bike and then you feel like you\u2019re 15 years old,\u201d Tuchel said Tuesday. \u201cYou enjoy your evening on a warm, summer evening for 15 minutes with the ice cream and you reconnect to the beauty of that feeling that we all have inside of us and that\u2019s sometimes all it needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

German coach Tuchel was hired in 2024<\/a> and charged with the responsibility of leading England to its first trophy since winning the World Cup in 1966.<\/p>\n

He is one win away to leading the team to only its second World Cup final.<\/p>\n

England plays defending champion Argentina in Atlanta on Wednesday and it would be understandable if Tuchel was feeling the pressure \u2014 especially coming up against Messi and resuming one of the fiercest rivals in soccer between the Three Lions and Argentina.<\/p>

While he said the tournament had been draining due to traveling to Mexico and playing at altitude and also a \u201croller coaster\u201d due to comeback wins against Congo and Norway, Tuchel also said the experience had been energizing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can tell you that it fuels me and it makes me feel alive,\u201d he said. \u201cI love it so much that it gives me energy every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tuchel, a serial trophy winner with Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Bayern Munich, said he was grateful for the opportunity to coach at a World Cup.<\/p>\n

As for ending England\u2019s 60-year trophy drought?<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t feel the burden,\u201d he said. \u201cYou feel the tension and I will be nervous and of course that is normal. But I feel no burden.\u201d<\/p>
