In the next match against Finland, England captain Harry Kane will be playing his 100th match for the Three Lions. With this new milestone, the Englishman is looking to provide longevity into his career. In an interview, Kane said that he wants to play football till the late thirties, just like Cristiano Ronaldo.
Recently, the 39-year-old Portuguese scored the 901st goal in his career. He might even reach the 1,000-goal milestone. In a recent interview, Ronaldo said that the 1,000-goal milestone is his dream.
At this point, Kane has scored 66 goals in all competitions for England, which makes him the all-time top scorer for the Three Lions. The 31-year-old will be the first player after 2014 to reach this 100-cap milestone. In 2014, Wayne Rooney achieved it with his consistent performance.
According to ESPN, the English forward will receive a golden cap on this memorable day. This will be a huge honor for him and his teammates.
From the perspective of Cristiano Ronaldo’s career, Kane has many more years left in his career. If the Bayern Munich forward can maintain a high level of consistency throughout his career, he can also score a lot of goals.
Recent performances of Harry Kane
After the Euro final against Spain, the England fans were slamming Harry Kane for his overall performance for the Three Lions. But we can’t deny his goal-scoring ability. He is a complete striker like Robert Lewandowski.
Although Bayern Munich didn’t win the league last season, Harry Kane scored 44 goals out of 45 games. Till now, the 31-year-old has maintained his consistency throughout his entire career. If the English forward can do the same for a few more years, he can break multiple records.
Harry Kane has expressed his thoughts on this golden moment and said that he feels perfect both physically and mentally. There is no doubt that Kane loves to represent England. He also said the same in this interview.
At this point, the 31-year-old forward is one of those players who can lead the entire golden generation of England, which includes Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, Bukayo Saka, Kobie Mainoo, Noni Madueke, Jarrod Bowen, and many more. So, he has a big responsibility on his shoulders.
Cristiano Ronaldo has also done the same thing in the Portugal national team. He always tries to guide young players. This behavior ultimately helps to build a deep team chemistry. Soon, Harry Kane can also take that role in the England national team.
Kane’s thought on Ronaldo
Harry Kane is impressed with the longevity of Cristiano Ronaldo’s career. The 31-year-old forward always tries to motivate himself from other players who are older than him. One such example is none other than the legendary footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. Kane said that the Portuguese never fails to inspire him with his passion and love for football. He believes that scoring 900 goals at the age of 39 is just an exceptional thing to do.
From Sporting Lisbon to Al Nasser, Ronaldo has created a huge legacy that will be known for ages. The English forward also wants to achieve this type of success in his career so that people can get to know his legacy.
On the other hand, Harry Kane also gets inspired by the World Cup winner and Barcelona legend, Lionel Messi. At the age of 37, the Argentine is shaking up the entire world with his body feints and magical dribbling. These two players are simply the greatest ones that our generation has seen. They can inspire any young footballer. One is known for his hard work, and another one is just exceptional.
