The head coach supported the striker after missing a penalty in the quarter-finals with France
Team head coach England Gareth Southgate commented on the defeat of the team in the match with France in the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup (1:2). The mentor supported striker Harry Kane, who did not convert a penalty at the end of the meeting.
“We win and we lose together. We conceded a few goals and didn’t convert a number of chances. We wouldn’t have reached this stage without Kane’s goals.”
“France knows it was an amazing game and we fought against the strongest team. I don’t think we could do anything else. According to our performance, we deserved more, but the goals in the end are decisive.
Aurélien Tchouameni’s goal was answered by Gareth Southgate’s team with a Harry Kane kick from the penalty spot. However, Olivier Giroud soon scored the second French goal and set the final score.
Harry Kane equaled Wayne Rooney’s record for most goals for the national team. The striker had the opportunity to equalize the score again in the match and become the sole record holder, but did not convert the second penalty, breaking above the gate.
