Kane trusts his teammates to end 52 years run without a title

CAIRO – 11 June 2018: England national team captain, Harry Kane, believes that their team can achieve the World Cup title in Russia and win their first title since the 1966 World Cup.

“The main thing is to believe it can be different; it's been tough for the last 50 years because we haven't won anything," Kane said.

England manager, Gareth Southgate, named Kane as the team captain at the 2018 World Cup, and the player hopes to be the second English man to lift the World Cup after Bobby Moore who captained England in the 1966 World Cup.



Kane, 24, is the youngest player to be named captain of an English team for a World Cup tournament.

Kane added “For us the key thing is to stay focused on ourselves, not to worry about the teams in the past and things like that.”

England was eliminated from three World Cup tournaments in penalty shootout. The first one was against Germany at 1990 semi-finals, the second came against Argentina in 1998 at the round of 16 and the last one was in 2006 when they lost to Portugal.





The English striker reassured the fans about their biggest fear, Penalties, saying “We have been practicing penalties, not every session, but every now and then the coaches will throw it in at the end of the session; when we are maybe a little bit fatigued in games after extra-time, the lads are tired, that's when it's going to happen."

England plays in Group G alongside Tunisia, Belgium and Panama and they are set to open their participation at the tournament against Tunisia on June 18.
