French national team captain and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris (36, Tottenham Hotspur), who faced England in the quarterfinals of the World Cup, sent a message of consolation to teammate Harry Kane (29).
According to Spanish media Marca on the 13th (Spain local time), Lloris mentioned Kane at a press conference ahead of the semifinal against Morocco.
On the 11th (Korean time), Kane got two penalty kick opportunities in the quarterfinal match against France held at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Hor, Qatar.
In the 9th minute of the 토토 second half, he succeeded in kicking to equalize, but in the 38th minute of the second half, in the second opportunity, he threw the ball into the air and failed.
England eventually lost 1-2 and failed to advance to the semi-finals.
“It’s going to be a very difficult time for England and Harry,” Lloris said.
“We were texting each other,” he said. “It wasn’t easy choosing what to say to Harry. He needed time to catch his breath.”
However, “he should be proud of what he has done for his country,” he said. “In football, many world-class players make mistakes in penalty kicks. The same goes for Messi and Ronaldo.”
At the same time, Lloris sent generous encouragement to his colleague, saying, “I have no doubt that Harry will rise again and shine Tottenham and England.”
France, with Lloris at the goal, will play against Morocco at 4:00 a.m. on the 15th, Korean time, for the final.
