The French have good reason to be worried about Harry Kane.

The 29-year-old Tottenham player is on the list of players with the most goals and assists for England in World Cup history. Harry Kane has been involved in 10 goals for the England national team (7 goals, 3 assists), level with Gary Lineker (10 goals) and David Beckham (3 goals, 7 assists). But Harry Kane is still playing, so he has the opportunity to improve his record while his two predecessors have retired.

Scoring against Senegal in the 3-0 victory, Captain Kane has now scored 7 goals in World Cups, and it's amazing that he only needed 7 matches to do so. He was the top scorer at the 2018 World Cup in Russia four years ago, equaling the record of Gary Lineker, who was also the top scorer at the 1986 World Cup with 6 goals.

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

At Qatar 2022, it wasn't until the fourth match against Senegal that he scored his first World Cup goal, but that didn't diminish his role. Coach Garreth Southgate had complete faith in his captain, and his performances on the pitch showed that Kane was not selfish in his role of distributing the ball for the England team, which boasts a squad of young and energetic players.

With a squad of quality players in their prime, with an average age of 26.9, coach Garreth Southgate can employ various tactical formations such as 3-4-1-2, 3-4-3, 4-1-4-1, and 4-3-3. However, in any formation, Harry Kane's position is untouchable; simply put, this versatile captain can play as a center forward, winger, and attacking midfielder. Harry Kane is truly the maestro of the England team at the 2022 World Cup.

Harry Kane's tactical vision allows him to frequently appear in key areas, acting as a link between defense and attack. Jude, Saka, and many other young players have improved significantly playing alongside someone as experienced as Captain Harry Kane.

Historical responsibility

Fate has pitted defending champions France against England in the quarter-finals. At this point, France remains the top favorite among European teams for the championship, and people are beginning to dream of a France-Brazil final, but first, they must overcome the English team. While the French boast Mbappe, who has scored 5 goals and provided 2 assists so far, and Giroud, with 3 goals, the English are proud to have Captain Harry Kane, who has already scored a goal to make his mark before this quarter-final. England's attack also includes Rashford and Saka, who have also scored 3 goals like Giroud, placing them among the top scorers in Qatar.

The 2022 World Cup will be the first time England and France have met in a knockout match, and with both teams showing extremely high form since the start of the tournament, many even believe this could be an "early final." This is the time for experienced players like Giroud (France) and Harry Kane (England) to demonstrate their composure and battle-hardened experience.
