'Easy to Create Divisions' - Kane Rubbishes Talk of Rift
Kane said England’s unity remains intact and defended Bellingham after the midfielder questioned Thomas Tuchel’s criticism of the team.
- On Tuesday, Captain Harry Kane dismissed the idea of division in England's squad, insisting there is 'complete togetherness' ahead of the World Cup semifinal with Argentina after England beat Norway 2-1 in extra time in extreme Miami heat.
- Real Madrid forward Jude Bellingham questioned whether Thomas Tuchel understood playing conditions after the manager's post-match assessment that England had not performed well, with Bellingham scoring twice to secure England's place in the last four.
- Kane told BBC Sport: 'When you are playing a game like that and to be asked a question five minutes after the final whistle, and he didn't really know what the manager has said, what do you want Jude to say?' Bellingham's comments were misinterpreted.
- The England captain praised Tuchel's unscripted communication style, calling him 'one of the best managers in the world' and confirming the German-born coach has been 'positive with the squad' during their two-year partnership.
- Kane stressed that England's progress stems from group cohesion involving players, coaching staff and management, with squad mentality at its highest level as they prepare to face Argentina in the World Cup semifinal.
