Harry Kane praises Thomas Tuchel after perfect start with England

Harry Kane praises Thomas Tuchel following a successful start as England's coach, leading to a 3-0 victory over Latvia in the World Cup qualifiers.

Harry Kane and Thomas Tuchel have established a strong rapport, as evidenced by Kane’s enthusiastic remarks following the new coach’s impressive debut. „Thomas Tuchel is fantastic; we clicked from the start,“ stated the Bayern Munich forward, who previously worked under Tuchel. „It is enjoyable to work with him. He has brought enthusiasm to the team.“

Earlier, the Three Lions secured a 3-0 victory in their World Cup qualifying match against Latvia, marking Tuchel’s second win in as many games. The new coach’s squad is on track for the 2026 World Cup, with Tuchel expressing satisfaction with the team’s attitude, energy, and determination. „We are on the right path,“ he noted. „It was not an easy game.“

Indeed, the English team faced challenges as Latvia adopted a defensive strategy, limiting their scoring opportunities. A breakthrough came from a free kick, expertly converted by Reece James in the 38th minute, much to Tuchel’s delight. „I know Reece, and his quality is incredible,“ Tuchel praised. Kane added to the scoreline in the 68th minute, followed by Eberechi Eze in the 76th, securing the victory.
