Kane defends Tuchel's critique, says coach pushes for excellence
Harry Kane has embraced the feedback from England manager Thomas Tuchel following the team's FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-final victory against Norway. Kane noted that the 52-year-old coach is simply striving to bring out the highest level of performance from his squad. "He knows as much as anyone that it's not as simple as that," Kane remarked. His comments follow a response from Jude Bellingham, who suggested "maybe" Tuchel is unaware of the specific conditions on the pitch.
