Kane strongly supports Tuchel, saying the UEFA Nations League will be a crucial period of development for the team.

In the bronze medal match of the USA-Canada-Mexico World Cup, England defeated France 6-4 in a high-scoring game to win the bronze medal, achieving England's best result in a World Cup held overseas.

Despite missing out on the final, team captain Harry Kane publicly voiced his support for head coach Thomas Tuchel after the match. Following the semi-final loss to Argentina, Tuchel faced heavy criticism for his conservative tactic of switching to a five-defender formation to secure a victory when leading 1-0. Kane demonstrated great understanding and support for this decision.

Kane said: "I know there are a lot of questions after the games a few days ago, and as players and managers, we all need to process them. This is his first major international tournament, and he will learn a lot from being a player, from various situations, from the pressure, and from traveling away from home."

"At the same time, he also built the best England team I've ever been to in terms of unity. He's an excellent coach who not only gave the players confidence but also instilled in the country the belief that this year belongs to us."

Kane admitted that England's conservative performance in the last 30 minutes against Argentina was not the style they wanted to project, and that the fans' anger was completely understandable; the team needs to turn these criticisms into motivation.

Looking ahead, Kane emphasized that England must take the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches seriously. After their previous relegation and promotion, England will face top European powerhouses such as Spain and Croatia in the Nations League starting this September.

Kane believes that such high-quality dialogue is crucial to the team's growth: "It's easy to talk about these things afterward, the key is to really do the right thing the next time you're in that kind of big game. We need to find our best form against these strong teams and show it when the next big game comes."
