I love being here, I love being at Wembley. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> 'I feel comfortable in this team and in this environment. Number 70, it's a great achievement to hit, but hopefully a few more to come.' </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> Kane's goal put the finishing touches on a comfortable, but underwhelming, win as Tuchel's reign began. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> It was not exactly the high-octane football Tuchel promised as Albania deployed a low block, but Kane said there were promising signs. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> 'I think that's maybe why he's a little disappointed at the end,' he added. 'But then they were tough to break down as well. There were spells where they made it difficult. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> 'That energy in training this week and with him in the meetings and everything has been at a high, high level. </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Bs5dQ" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Bs5dQ.jpg"/> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> 'I think you saw glimpses of it out there today. There were times when we counter-pressed really well and kept them pinned in. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> 'But probably just with the ball, there were too many slow passes, and we didn't quite get that same pattern to play with the ball. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> 'But it's an exciting time. It's the first building block in a long year and three months ahead before America and we could be happy with how we started.' </p> Read more
