While the weather obviously impacts the performances of individual players during a match, its implications are wider reaching.
Former Chelsea boss Gianluca Vialli explored the impact of weather conditions on a nation's footballing philosophy in his book The Italian Job.
In it, a quote from ex-England boss Capello stands out.
"It's all about the climate," he said. "I had a long discussion about it when I went to Scotland to see [former national boss] Andy Roxburgh. I worked with a Scottish youth side and had them do the same drills I would do in Italy.
"I realised that between the wind, the rain and the cold, there was no way they could do it. How can you possibly teach anybody anything in those conditions?
"To me, it's pretty obvious and explains why Brazilians are more technical than Europeans and, in Italy, the further south you go the more technical they are."
Vialli then looked at the average temperature in three English and three Italian cities across a season, but there wasn't a clear enough difference in temperature to make any conclusions.
Players and managers have, however, spoken about the harsh cold of England - and that experience is best explained by looking at the difference in wind speed.
At the time Vialli wrote his book - more than 20 years ago - the average speed of wind in England was 50% greater than in Italy, and may have unknowingly informed the football education of its playing population.
Speaking in 2015, it was something new Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp had noticed.
"The English game is not faster than the German game," he said. "Perhaps there are a few more sprints. But there is a different style of football here, partially due to the weather.
"The wind can be quite extreme in England. We are not familiar with that in Germany and you have to keep things simple. Players who are not from the UK have to get used to the winds.
"I have to adapt my style of football as a result as well. Often, you are forced to keep things simple. And there are a lot more duels for the second ball here, and more duels in general. That makes the game even more intense."
At a more granular level, former Arsenal boss Wenger believed the wind and perception of cold prevented players in England from focusing on tactical instructions while training.
"One of the first things I had to get accustomed to as soon as I arrived in England was the weather," he said.
"I don't mean the temperature or the rain but - most of all - the wind. The wind ruins everything. It forces you to do only one type of exercise. It forces you to work on either speed or continuous movement.
"It's very rare that you get the chance to sit calmly and work on technique or on tactics. You have to keep the players moving, otherwise they get cold. And this is something which begins way back when they are children."
There has naturally been a shift and greater focus on the tactical game in England - particularly through the likes of Klopp, departing Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, and former Chelsea and Tottenham boss Antonio Conte.
Tuchel will be hoping that league-wide education of Premier League players will have helped bridge any tactical gaps - but having grown up in the cold, wind and rain, if England are to achieve football greatness, it will be in a very unfamiliar climate.
