The goalkeepers are well prepared if it comes to that. We know what's going to happen.

But they also know everything; that's part of modern football. Everything is available for analysis," said Tuchel.

The Estadio Azteca holds historical significance as the venue where Diego Maradona scored his famous "Hand of God" goal against England during the 1986 World Cup quarterfinals, though Tuchel dismissed any narrative of revenge.

"It's an iconic goal and it was hugely unfair for the English team. That still hurts, but taking revenge doesn't make sense.

It's the same stadium, but not the same opponent. We want to write our own chapter," said Tuchel.

England midfielder Jordan Henderson also attended the press conference, expressing optimism about the upcoming fixture despite the difficult playing conditions.

"A match doesn't get much bigger than this. In this stadium, against Mexico.

We have to stay focused, but it's going to be very tough.

I hope this brings out the best in us, and then I'm sure we'll get a good result," said Henderson.
