Harry Kane passionately believes England can clinch Euro 2024, asserting that he and his teammates will be “disappointed” if they don’t lift the trophy in mid-July.
The Three Lions, alongside France, are strong favorites for this summer’s tournament. Gareth Southgate’s squad boasts stars in abundance. Jude Bellingham won La Liga and the Champions League with Real Madrid in the 2023/24 season. Phil Foden secured another Premier League title and was named Premier League Player of the Season with Manchester City. Kane himself enjoyed a record-breaking debut campaign with Bayern Munich.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Kane stated, “If we don’t win, we’ll be disappointed. We want to win and start winning as a national team because we’ve been taking steps toward this moment. It’s going to be tough, but we’re ready for the challenge.”
Kane emphasized, “We all want to be remembered for winning a major tournament with England, not just for good campaigns. We know it’s something to respect and be proud of and to keep pushing ourselves.”
“It’s not easy to play for England, first and foremost – even harder to get into the major tournaments. It’s a proud achievement because it shows consistency, good work ethic, and professionalism. Making yourself available for all the tournaments is not always easy,” he added.
Kane aims to enhance his goal tally in Germany, targeting the Golden Boot. He won the prize at the 2018 World Cup with six goals. “I know what I’m capable of. I’ve done it year after year. There’s no reason why I can’t be the top scorer at this tournament,” he told the media.
“If we do well, I expect myself to be up there. Scoring goals means helping the team. That confidence is still there. I’m at my peak, not just physically but also mentally, understanding the game, tactics, and the space to run into.”
Kane is optimistic about the squad’s potential. “I think we’re all at that stage now where we want to have a great tournament, make everyone proud – but we want to win. We’ve had talented squads throughout my time as an England player. But what separates this one is how good everyone is playing leading up to this tournament. Phil was Player of the Year in the Premier League, Jude in La Liga, and I had a decent season in the Bundesliga.”
He concluded, “I’m excited with this squad. Leading them is a pleasure for me. We all just want to get out there and get started now.”
