Thomas Tuchel denies England over-reliant on Harry Kane after Ghana draw

Thomas Tuchel insisted that England did not over-rely on Harry Kane after they failed to score against Ghana.

The head coach faced a flurry of questions after his team failed to beat the lowest-ranked side in their group, including whether they were too reliant on skipper Kane for goals.

“I mean, does Argentina rely to heavily on Messi and France rely too heavily on Kylian Mbappe? It’s just what it is,” he said.

“To rely on Harry, it’s just a natural thing because he loves the responsibility and he takes it. He was not involved as much as we would like to, but it was just so, so narrow. We rely on Harry because we can, because he’s our forward but we don’t over-rely on him.”
