Kane: England shines in the qualifiers, but do they get the credit?

England’s star striker, Harry Kane, has expressed his confidence in his team’s potential after an impeccable World Cup qualifying campaign under the management of Thomas Tuchel. England, runner-up of the 2024 European Championship, is shaping up to be one of the teams to beat in the next tournament, and their performance in the qualifying phase has generated expectations. The English secured their place in the final phase with two matches to spare and culminated the qualification with a full victory, including a 2-0 win over Albania, where Kane scored a brace. This mark represents the first time a European team has achieved such a feat in World Cup qualifiers, demonstrating the strength of Tuchel’s team.

Kane highlighted the importance of this achievement and the team’s dedication. “We have done our job with style,” said the English captain, showing pride in what has been achieved and anticipating the new year with optimism.

England will play two friendlies in March before Tuchel announces the final squad for the World Cup. Kane emphasized the team’s ability to compete at the highest level. “Not conceding goals throughout the qualifying phase is a great achievement, and clean sheets win tournaments,” he pointed out. The Bayern Munich striker also highlighted the team’s defensive strength and offensive talent, which makes them a difficult opponent to overcome. “There’s still a long way to go, but we are eager for the next camp in March to continue with this momentum,” he added. Kane, with 28 goals this season between club and country, is in great form. “When you’re on a roll, you want the next game to be just around the corner. I’m playing at the highest level,” concluded the striker.
