Captain Kane: still the 'same Harry' for England?

Harry Kane may have scored twice for England at Euro 2024, but he's been peripheral for much of the tournament

00:00If I'm honest with myself, have I played the best that I know I can? No.

00:05He's our leading goal scorer. At any time, he can score a goal and make that difference.

00:11So, yeah, he's a very important player.

00:30He's leading the team incredibly well. He's such a positive influence around the camp,

00:37guiding young players through everything that the squad have had to deal with in the early stages of the tournament.

00:45We tried to give him injections and treatments, but his back was completely closed.

01:01It got worse and he kept breaking out in small everyday movements.

01:06There was no chance at all that he was training.

01:15No, I don't sense any frustration from him.

01:24I feel like he's the same Harry that we have from the start of the camp.

01:31Nothing's changed. Of course, maybe in his opinion, he would have liked to maybe score more goals.

01:38But no, nothing's changed. He's still very positive.

01:42He's our captain, he's our leader. He leads by example and we all follow him.

01:58It's another feather in the cap of the team that they've won a shootout without a record goal scorer.

02:06It was different for me not being involved in it, but I think that's part of our squad.

02:10Whoever steps up and steps in at the right moment is ready to make a difference.

02:13We know the qualities he has and what he brings for the team.

02:16It's really important for us that he's on the pitch.
