TIMESTAMPS

00:00 - Intro.

00:17 - Players want to win for you: Very fortunate to have this group of players. The special thing about these players is the way they’ve bonded.

01:40 - (Kane) Being higher up the pitch: Of course as the striker you want to give the midfield as much space as possible, but I try see how the game evolves.

02:54 - Start with Trippier: Luke Shaw has been injured for four months, it wasn’t a possibility until last match. We have to make the decision about whether he can start. Trippier has been so important.

04:00 - (Kane) Dutch strikers: They’re both different and bring something different. They’re two top strikers.

04:56 - (Kane) Dealing with pressure: We don’t speak about it in the dressing room. As we’ve been doing better the expectation gets higher.

06:03 - Tomorrow’s referee: I deal with referee’s with complete respect. The guys at UEFA respect us for how we’ve handled their referees.

07:12 - (Kane) Spain and their young stars: Spain have has a fantastic tournament. They play with freedom and it’s no surprise they’re in a semi-final.

08:09 - (Kane) Get rid of extra time: I’m not quite sure. There’s been great moments in extra time. I don’t mind it.

09:35 - Late subs: There are different reasons for making changes. We were happy with how the team were playing at that time. You’re always looking at the freshness.

11:04 - Bielsa’s comments on football: I don’t know the context.

11:39 - Intense atmosphere: One of the great things of this tournament has been the fans. It’s added a different feel and intensity. Our fans will make themselves heard.

13:04 - Are the players in the right mind to peak?: There’s been a definite switch. One of our strengths has been less fear. The expectation did weigh heavily and the external noise was the loudest ever.

15:23 - what you expecting tomorrow?: Koeman is an experienced coach and can change what he’s done. We’ve got to be another step from the last game.

16:23 - Travel delays for Dutch: We’d be calm. We don’t play until 9pm so they’ll be fine.

17:08 - (Kane) Different mentality?: You use past experiences to help you. Tomorrow night won’t be any different.

18:38 - (Kane) Done anything different to previous tournaments?: As the captain you’re always speaking to the players. We’ve done a good job to prepare the players.

20:05 - Trying to learn German, do you know the word for European Champion?: No.

20:42 - (Kane) Battle with Van Dijk: De Ligt has been a fantastic teammate. Van Dijk we’ve had great battles, sometimes he’s won and sometimes I have. I’ll always prepare the same way.
