Tuchel: I can't be angry with Harry Kane, that's usually a goal

England manager Thomas Tuchel stated he couldn't be angry with the team's top scorer, Harry Kane, who missed a clear opportunity to secure victory for the "Three Lions" against Ghana. The English side struggled to break through the African team's compact defense, but according to the German coach, they created enough chances to have won the match.

"I can't be angry with Harry. Normally, that's a goal for us. We had a double chance to score, and it would have been deserved, but we couldn't convert. We knew it would be a very tough game. They played even more defensively than in the first match; they defended in a 4-5-1 formation. We needed to show patience at times. I think at the end of both halves, we had good opportunities, but that was only at the very end of each period.

The substitutions made a good impact. I think we played well. Ghana, on the other hand, reacted with counter-attacks. If we hadn't defended well in those situations, we could have been punished."

When asked if this match would in any way alter his plan for the final group stage encounter against Panama, Tuchel replied: "No, I don't know yet. It's too early to talk about that game."
