November 16th, Tuchel said in an interview that Kane, Bellingham and Foden cannot start at the same time. Kane responded to coach Tuchel's statement in an interview with talkSPORT reporter Faye Carruthers.

■About Tuchel saying that Kane, Bellin and Foden cannot start at the same time

Kane said: "That is coach Tuchel's view of the team and the type of players. As far as Foden himself is concerned, I think it is good to clarify his positioning and how the coach views his position. He has played many positions in the national team that are not his own. He has played in the defensive midfielder, right side, left side, and also played as a false nine. So I think We need to let him know his role, and then he can focus on it and strive to enter the starting lineup through hard training and good performance, just like he did when he came on as a substitute a few days ago. "As for the issue of us playing together, we have played together before and have played many good games together. But the head coach has his own ideas, and from our perspective, we can only follow his arrangements."

■ When asked about Foden potentially becoming Kane's "backup striker"

Kane said: "I don't want to say he is my backup, everyone is competing for positions. It's not just that position that Foden wants to fight for. He is also a very good '10'. We have healthy competition in multiple positions. I think he can play as a false nine, which he has done at times at Manchester City. In that sense, our speciality The points may be somewhat similar, we all like to drop back to get the ball and then get to the penalty area later. He definitely has the ability to play in this position. Foden is a very good player and he has shown that he can play in multiple positions. "

■ Bellingham and Foden, who were defeated in two consecutive periods, were on the bench. Although Bellingham came on as a substitute in the 65th minute at Wembley, Kane was asked about Bellingham's reaction to not being a starter.

Kane said: "I think Bellingham handled it very well. This is his first return to the national team after being absent for a period of time due to injury. Maybe some people forget that. He was not dropped from the national team, but he was not in good health before. So it makes more sense from that perspective. He competes for places like all of us. He is of course a very good player. He plays for one of the top clubs in the world, and when you come to the England team, you also There are other good players competing for the same position. "But Bellingham is very focused and he performed well in training the other day. Bellingham is a very important part if we want to be successful, so moments like this will only motivate him and make him more competitive and strive to return to the starting position. "
