Harry Kane: 'Failed penalty is a lasting pain'

"As captain, I take responsibility for missing the penalty," Kane said after the game at Al Bayt. "It's going to hurt you for a long time, but that's part of being captain. You have to take responsibility and I'll take it today."

He was awarded penalties twice last night, and Kane both took responsibility. In the first situation in the 54th minute, he distracted goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, equalizing 1-1. In the 84th minute, when the home team was 1-2 lead, he shot over the bar.

Kane froze when the ball went out, then pulled up his shirt to cover his face in disappointment. The remaining time was too little for him and his teammates to equalize while France had retreated to a large and tight defense. After the game, Kane repeatedly pressed his fingers to his forehead and then collapsed on the field.

He is very expected in this year's tournament. In the group stage, Kane and his teammates started with a spectacular 6-2 victory over Iran, drew the US 0-0 and then crushed Wales 3-0. In the 1/8 round, they received a 3-0 victory over Senegal.

According to Kane, the foggy team should have done something special in the 2022 World Cup. "I think this is a really positive tournament for England. If you look at the matches and the way we are, I think this is a really positive tournament for England. play, you will feel it. I think England have a bright future," Kane affirmed, adding that England only lost because of small details and had to meet the defending champion France too soon.

Defeat in the World Cup makes the future of coach Gareth Southgate unclear. He is leaving open the possibility of resigning, even though his contract is until December 2024.

Southgate has led England since 2016. Under him, the "Three Lions" reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup, the final of Euro 2021 and then stopped in the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup. He is considered England's most successful coach since Alf Ramsey. 1966 - the last time they won a major title.

Kane commented: "The players are really happy about Southgate. We want him to stay, but it's his decision. We have a great team, players are at the top and We have a Euro not too far away."
