Kane: “The punishment is mine for life”

Harry Kane recognized his missed penalty in World Cup who sentenced England The elimination in Qatar in the quarterfinals will stay with him for the rest of his life, but he vowed that it would not affect him personally or professionally and spurred him on to victory.

In England’s 2-1 defeat to France last month, the England captain scored his first goal from the penalty spot, but hit just over the bar with a second equalizer chance six minutes before the final whistle. .

“I’ll probably remember it for the rest of my life, but that’s part of the game. It won’t affect me as a player or as a person. I’ll keep working hard to improve,” Kane told the ‘Evening Standard’.

“After this, I just want to get back into the game as soon as possible and get it out of my head. It’s something you have to deal with… It’s a difficult time for me. It’s not an easy thing to do in through, but it’s part of the ups and downs of our sport”.

Since returning to Tottenham Hotspur, Kane has found the net three times in as many games and scored twice in Wednesday’s 4-0 Premier League win over Crystal Palace.

“I had a bit of free time afterwards, just to reflect, and I’m more and more hungry to come back and get the victory. So nights like last night (against Palace) are always good for me and the team, and this is much needed after the latest results,” he added.

Happy for Kane to continue

Kane also hailed manager Gareth Southgate’s decision to stay and lead England’s Euro 2024 campaign, saying they had a point to prove after defeats to Italy in the Euro 2020 final and Croatia in the semi-final. of the 2018 World Cup.

“I’m very happy he’s staying. I feel like there’s some unfinished business and he’s a fantastic coach. We’ve been close now on a few occasions. We looked strong in the tournament and it was small things that ended up not going our way way. It’s good to have another chance at the Euros with the same team and personnel. It all starts again in March and we’ll be ready.”
