'If we lose, we lose in our way' - what Tuchel said at half-time

England players were on the receiving end of a half-time reproach from manager Thomas Tuchel as their World Cup campaign got off to a victorious start against Croatia.

Harry Kane's double and a goal apiece from Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford ensured England secured a 4-2 win in Dallas.

But having taken the lead twice in the first half, the score was 2-2 at half-time and captain Kane said Tuchel delivered an important half-time message to the team.

He said on ITV: "I thought it was a game of two halves. In the first half, we were OK.

"[We were] really disappointed to concede in the way we did, I thought we dropped off.

"Credit to the manager, he gave us a speech at half-time and said if we lose, we lose in our way, and I think we saw that in the way we came out in the second half.

"We went full gas and they couldn't live with it. Credit to everyone for the first game of the tournament."

In a separate interview with BBC Sport, the Bayern Munich striker added: "The boss said at half-time to up the tempo, go man for man and completely take the game to them, and that is exactly what happened.
