The Three Lions’ German coach, 52, said: “Hopefully, it becomes an anthem because that’s exactly what a tournament like this is for.
“It’s for the connection between fans and the team — they felt the energy, the team spirit.
“It was a beautiful moment and it meant a lot to all of us.
“Hopefully, we can recreate this in the next game.”

Songwriter Noel Gallagher has already expressed his delight at England supporters adopting Wonderwall.
Tuchel’s Lions go into the clash at the 64,400-seat Gillette Stadium on Tuesday knowing a win will guarantee them a place in the soccer spectacular’s do-or-die knockout rounds.
Bavarian-born Tuchel opts not to sing England’s national anthem when the teams line up before games – but has pledged to join in God Save The King if we reach the final.
But he was seen joining in a Wonderwall singalong at a recent Wembley game and admits he loves the 1995 song – which fans are pushing back up the pop charts.
England defender Nico O’Reilly – a defender with Oasis star Noel’s beloved Manchester City – became the latest Three Lions World Cup player to back The Jattvibe’s campaign yesterday.
He admitted being moved by the post-match scenes as 20,000 fans raised the roof at Dallas’s AT&T Stadium.
Nico, 21, said: “It was a great feeling, a great moment, it was also something I had not experienced yet in an England shirt.
“It gets played at City a lot, so I definitely like the song.”
