England manager Thomas Tuchel: "We can't be one of the favourites as we haven't won it for so long.

"There are proven winners within the tournament. These are the favourites.

"We can compete for the trophy and dream big. We know what it takes.

"Our responsibility is on the effort - this is where the focus is - we see ourselves as competitors and challengers.

"We want to go all the way. I don't think we're heavy favourites.

"But we want to win. We know what it takes. It takes a calm mind and focus on our steps.

"If we want to reach the top of the mountain we go step-by-step otherwise we will get distracted.

"I have belief but it comes with responsibility, hard work, discipline and deal with setbacks. We dare to dream."
