Harry Kane has once again delivered the kind of performance that England needed. There is no doubting how useful he is to his team-mates.
England were trailing DR Congo by a goal after 75 minutes in Wednesday's World Cup match. The team was under intense pressure in the last 32 competition. That's when Kane's heroism came to the fore.
While Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe are making headlines, Kane has proven that he is no slouch. The thing is, whatever Kane is doing, he is doing it quietly. The 6ft 2in tall player has scored two goals to send England into the last 16. Now England will face Mexico. The match will be held in Mexico City.
After the current victory, Kane admitted that such a performance is possible only through continuous hard work in training. He said, "It is for such occasions that you have to work hard behind the scenes." You have to keep working hard to adapt to your situation off the field. That's why Lionel Messi is still playing so well.'
Even though Congo played its best, it was not enough. The journey to this point in the World Cup has also been fruitful for the team. Now this team will return home with its head held high. Anthony Gordon, the player who played an instrumental role in both of Kane's goals, is gone. He said after the game, 'I never thought Congo would beat us. I thought we would win. That's because of the confidence in our players on the field. We play to win and we work hard for it. The Congolese players were tired towards the end of the game because of our performance.'
Kane's number of goals in this World Cup has also reached 5. His total number of goals in the World Cup has reached 13. In this way, he has become the highest scorer for England in the World Cup. Gordon added, ‘When Kane scored on both occasions, I was already celebrating.’
Such was his confidence in Kane. Kane is at his most confident in 16 years since he started playing professional football. He wants to repeat this rhythm of the game against Mexico and take the team one step further. He says, ‘I feel good now. Every time I enter the field, I know what my role is. I believe I can do justice to the role. That’s what happened in this victory.’
