The French are right to be concerned about Harry Kane.

The 29-year-old Tottenham player is on the list of players who have scored and assisted the most goals for the Three Lions in World Cup history. Harry Kane has had a hand in 10 goals for the foggy country team (7 goals, 3 assists), equal to Gary Lineker (10 goals) and David Beckham (3 goals, 7 assists). But Harry Kane is still playing so has the opportunity to improve his record while the two senior players have retired.

The conductor of the England team

Scoring against Senegal in a 3-0 win, Captain Kane has now scored seven goals at the World Cup and it's amazing that he only needed seven games to do it. He was the top scorer at the 2018 World Cup in Russia four years ago, equalling the record of Gary Lineker, who was also the top scorer at the 1986 World Cup with six goals.

Harry Kane scored his 52nd goal for England last night, just one goal away from the all-time record held by Wayne Rooney. Of course, the Manchester United and Everton legend needed 120 games to reach the 53-goal mark, while the Tottenham striker needed just 79.

At Qatar 2022, it was not until the 4th match against Senegal that he scored his first goal at this World Cup, but that did not reduce his role. Coach Garreth Southgate completely trusted his captain, and on the pitch, Kane showed that he was not selfish when he took on the role of distributing the ball to the England team, which has a squad of young, energetic players.

With a squad of quality players in their prime with an average age of 26.9, coach Garreth Southgate can play with many different tactical formations: 3-4-1-2, 3-4-3, 4-1-4-1, 4-3-3. But in any formation, Harry Kane's position is inviolable, simply because this versatile captain can play as a striker, winger and attacking midfielder. Harry Kane is truly the conductor of the England team at the 2022 World Cup.

Harry Kane's tactical vision allows him to be a regular presence in the hot spots, acting as a link between defence and attack. Jude, Saka and many other young players have improved greatly when playing alongside someone as experienced as Captain Harry Kane.

Historical responsibility

Fate has brought the defending champion France to meet the England team in the quarter-finals. Up to this moment, France is still the highest bet among European teams for the championship, people are starting to dream about the final match between France and Brazil, but first, they have to overcome the foggy team. If the French have Mbappe, who has so far had 5 goals and 2 assists, Giroud 3 goals, the English are proud to have Captain Harry Kane, who has promptly scored a goal to show his personal mark before this quarter-final match. On the England team's attack, there are 2 players Rashford, Saka also has 3 goals like Giroud, in the top scorers list in Qatar this time.

The 2022 World Cup will be the first time England and France meet in a knockout match and with the excellent form of both teams since the beginning of the tournament, many people even think that this will likely be the "early final" of the tournament. This is the time for experienced players such as Giroud (France), Harry Kane (England) to show their mettle and combat experience.
