Lloris discusses his thoughts during Harry Kane’s second penalty.

There have been discussions regarding how England captain Hary Kane of Tottenham Hotspurs may have modified his approach against France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris after Kane missed the second penalty against France in the 84th minute of the World Cup quarterfinal encounter. After France’s victory, Lloris spoke about what prompted him to choose the correct route on the second try, which required Kane to smash the ball quite firmly. England failed to tie the world champions as the ball ultimately fell over the goal post and into the spectators.

We are so familiar with one another on the first one that I convinced myself he would change, but he continued to act as usual. I chose the appropriate path on the second. He must have sensed it because he raises a little but strikes it too hard. It was a crucial part of the game. It’s a good thing it went our way since there were others as well, Lloris said on the France national team’s official YouTube page.

The French goalie has been a member of Tottenham Hotspurs of England since 2012, and since England captain Harry Kane has been a member of the club squad for a long time and is the captain, the two have a unique relationship. Prior to the game, Lloris spoke about being aware of Kane’s strategies. On Saturday, he made a record-breaking 143rd appearance for France, shattering Lilliam Thuram’s previous mark.

“I spend a lot of time with Harry every day, both on and off the field. I only have good things to say about him, and he often decides close games. Harry can shoot from any location, as you are aware better than I am. We have studied them, but instinct and emotion are everything before we arrive. One day before to the quarterfinal game, Lloris had said that there was still time to make a difference on the field.
