Thomas Tuchel praised Harry Kane after the striker marked his record-equalling England appearance with an outstanding performance in the Nations League victory over Czechia. Kane scored a brace and forced Vladimir Coufal into an own goal during the match at Wembley, leading to a 3-0 win that solidified England's path to the Nations League quarter-finals.

Tuchel noted, “Brilliant, brilliant. I think the team performance was very good, and Harry’s performance was very good. He was again decisive for us and on this very special day for him, to equal the record of Peter Shilton, puts him on this kind of level. Amazing. He deserves the stage, he deserves the praise.”

Kane is poised to become England’s most-capped men’s player next month against Croatia, following their impressive 7-0 win in Rijeka and a 2-0 victory in Prague. Tuchel reflected on the team's progress, stating, “Yeah, of course, and that’s what we have to do. That is our goal, to constantly improve and develop.”

He emphasized the importance of maintaining high standards and a strong team culture, saying, “The players who were with us in the World Cup took care of these standards and of the culture within the team.” Tuchel concluded that the recent camp allowed for valuable time together, leading to improved teamwork and performance on the pitch.
