Harry Kane was disappointed after England’s loss to Argentina in the World Cup semifinal (2-1).
“We struggled to apply pressure on the ball. I think that, especially in the first half and then at the start of the second half, we put good pressure on them. We put a lot of pressure on them, especially high up the field, which allowed us to win the ball and control the game a bit. After the goal, either because they pushed more players forward or because we simply couldn’t match them, there was just a constant wave of attacks, and we were trying to hold on. We tried to hold on, but in the end, it wasn’t enough. When we took the lead, the message was to go back out there and score another goal,” he emphasized.
“We had a lot of good moments in this tournament, a lot of good games. Another semifinal. We’re close; we just need to find that missing piece in the final stages of the tournament. We’re just missing that final piece,” added the captain of the England national team.
