In the latest episode of The World Cup Psychology Show, Tim Harkness, Chelsea’s former head of Sport Science & Psychology, who worked with Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge, and David Wheeler, one of the only former pro footballers turned psychologists working in the game, join me to look back at England’s win against DR Congo.
We delve into how England dealt with the shock of conceeding an early goal, why recognising the difference between fear and danger is so cruical to playing under pressure and how Tuchel’s side might adapt their approach to deal with the physiological and psychological challenges of playing a last-16 match 7,200ft above sea level.
