ATLANTA, June 27 (Reuters) - Democratic Republic ⁠of Congo coach Sebastien Desabre said preparations for their World Cup round ⁠of 32 clash against England would start immediately after Saturday’s dramatic ‌come-from-behind win over Uzbekistan.

The 3-1 triumph in their last Group K match ensured the Congolese qualified as one of the eight best third-placed finishers and set up a clash with Thomas Tuchel's side ​in Atlanta on Wednesday.

“We’ll start work immediately on ⁠preparing. We’ve got a few players ⁠in the squad who play at clubs in the English league, so they will ⁠help ‌us, but we’ll prepare in the best way we can for what is going to be a very big match for us,” said ⁠Desabre, whose side registered their first World Cup victory with ​Newcastle United’s Yoane Wissa ‌scoring twice.

Desabre cut into the first questions in his post-match press conference ⁠on Saturday ​to insist on congratulating and praising his squad.

“Before answering, I’d like to congratulate my players for their work. It’s a squad that’s been together for four years, and we have ⁠always kept on believing.

“The win means a lot ​to the country, and the victory was quite wonderful. It’s very positive, and we showed a good image of Congo,” he told reporters.
