Pochettino: Tired Kane has lost confidence

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino hopes lessons have been learned after Harry Kane's hectic schedule in the offseason.

Tottenham striker Harry Kane has lost confidence and needed more offseason rest, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Kane has so far failed to live up to the high standards he set last season, and remains without a competitive goal for Tottenham this campaign.

After his 21-goal Premier League campaign, the 22-year-old played for England at the Euro Under-21 Championship, where he also failed to score.

Pochettino believes Kane's slow start to the season has affected his confidence, as did a lack of a break at the end of 2014-15.
