When England was scuffling and appeared ready to be upset by DR Congo, Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane put the team on his shoulders and offered up an all-time, second half performance.
Kane marvelous brace powered the Three Lions to a 2-1 victory and the Englishman added to his growing legend. Afterward, Kane talked about the responsibility he felt to step his game up and take control of the match.
“I try and be the best version of myself, and I know there’s millions of boys and girls, especially
around the world, watching a tournament like this,” Kane said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “Leading by example is probably one of my biggest traits, and my biggest mottos I try and live by, so whenever I’m on that pitch, I just try and do my best for the country, and I know there’ll be enjoyment back home today.”
Kane’s growth as a lethal scorer and a leader has been a remarkable ascension. While always a super-important player to his team, Kane has matured into one the game’s best, most valuable players.
