Antonio Conte has seen some great players in his time, but the longtime player and coach has a great admiration for one of key participants in the World Cup semifinal showdown between England and Argentina — Bayern Munich and Three Lions star Harry Kane.
“Harry is a great No.9, but he’s almost a No.10, too. He understands the movements; he knows when to drop deep and play as a playmaker. He’s a fantastic player, with great quality and technique. It was unfair that he had never won anything, and at Bayern
Munich, he’s getting the satisfaction he deserves. Who knows, maybe he can do the same with the national team. Kane is a leader in his own way. Perhaps not with words, but inside the game. His teammates look for him because they trust him, and he never lets them down,” Conte told La Gazzetta dello Sport via Football Italia (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Kane figures to play a pivotal role for England as Thomas Tuchel’s squad will seek to dethrone the reigning World Cup champions. With a date against Spain in the finale at stake, players like Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Declan Rice will be rated based on how they perform in these key moments.
Does the Bayern Munich star have a world class performance up his sleeve?
