Thomas Tuchel speaks after England lose to Japan at Wembley. He admitted his Plan B for life without Harry Kane failed to produce goals, as both Phil Foden and Cole Palmer struggled, but said any side in the world would struggle to score without record goalscorer Harry Kane. 0:00 intro 0:10 I think we got punished for not a lot against Uruguay and same today. One counter attack. We played against two well drilled top 20 teams. We made life difficult for ourselves. 2:27 I am not concerned 2:50 I am not the biggest fan of talking about individuals. We demand offensive actions from attacking players and didn’t have enough. Difficult for palmer and foden, they will get their chances. 4:33 In the absence of Harry we don’t have the same threat, neither does Bayern or any team. Top teams rely on top players. Always disrupting if the captain leaves training. Lost so many players. 6:00 I understand why teams are called the Harry Kane team. There is no second Harry Kane. I hate losing. 7:37 Nothing has changed about my impression of Japan. We controlled the game. 9:21 We played with two 6’s and two 10’s today. Rogers and Gordon were in the last line. We didn’t provide enough width. We wanted to give palmer the chance. I take the responsibility for the loss. 11:36 I have more clarity on the 26 after this camp. 12:00 Will be scary hoping players don’t get injured. Missing Rice Saka and Kane this camp. 13:11 Mitoma can play at a high level he has proved it in England. @HaytersTV – Football Up Close.
