Harry Kane once again emerged as the savior of the English nation. The captain’s brace enabled England to overturn the course of their challenging Round of 16 clash against DR Congo, securing a 2-1 victory.
In a post-match interview with the BBC, Kane revealed details of his conversation during the winning circle, which was captured on the broadcast.
“I told the lads to really soak up this moment. Sometimes, when you play for England and go through tough, grinding matches where only victory is expected from the start, you don’t celebrate success the way you should.
“But we are just like any other nation in this tournament, and we’ve achieved the objective—we’ve progressed. So enjoy it. We’re playing at the World Cup, fighting for every second and every tiny advantage on the pitch. I really want the boys to relish this success and share these emotions with our fans, just like we did immediately after the final whistle,” Kane explained.
In the quarterfinals, England will face Mexico. The match is scheduled for July 6 and will kick off at 00:00 UTC.
