Do coaches influence media?

Coaches like Thomas Tuchel often shape how the media portrays their team and even the sport itself. By choosing their words carefully, they can influence public opinion, manage expectations, and control the narrative around a match or a tournament. Tuchel's positive comments about Mexican fans, for instance, could soften the media's focus on security concerns.
