Critics are targeting Golden Gloves Goalkeeper Harry Kane
On his golden anniversary game, Harry Kane delivers a pair of goals. As teammates and adversaries applaud him in admiration, the Bayern standout also addresses his critics. In this bewitching night, he reminisces about those who don't comprehend him.
The flawless jubilee display, featuring a brace while decked out in golden shoes, has intensified Harry Kane's craving for additional goals. "I never restrict my ambitions regarding what I can achieve. I'm aware I'll receive opportunities within this team, and with these opportunities, I can bag numerous goals," the English striker mentioned post his 100th international encounter, which he triumphantly adorned - as expected - with a brace.
Against Finland in the 2-0 Nations League triumph, the Bayern Munich star netted both goals (57', 76') - in striking golden boots. After his substitution in the 79th minute, a standing ovation from the Wembley Stadium crowd greeted him.
Kane, however, did not settle for mere compliments following his excellent display. "Those who express doubts about you, only push you to strive harder to prove them wrong," he stated on ITV, speaking directly to his critics. "I am always about scoring goals and eagerly anticipate the future."
"This is such a memorable night for him. I wanted to permit the fans to express their appreciation," interim coach Lee Carsley clarified, whose first home match owed much to Kane. The 31-year-old added two more to his 67 international tally against Finland, eventually earning praise from both teammates and competitors.
Finland's Goalkeeper is in awe
"Destiny had its way," goalkeeper Jordan Pickford remarked, chuckling during the Sky interview. It's an "honor" for him to share the field with Kane. "It's appropriate for Harry to score both goals - it's his night," debutant Noni Madueke shared, who helped facilitate Kane's second strike: "It's enjoyable to interact with Harry, as he repays your faith in him within the penalty area."
Even Finland's goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky was taken aback. "The statistics, the games, all the actions, and the impact he has on his team label him as a remarkable player," the Leverkusen professional said: "It's appreciable to have a player like that in the Bundesliga."
Kane ranks as the tenth English international to surpass the milestone of 100 caps. The 31-year-old boasts decent chances of breaking former English team player Peter Shilton's record of 125 appearances for the English national team.
"What are they doing in League B?"
Before the match commencement, the record goal scorer for England received a golden cap from Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole, both members of England's exclusive centurion club. His two daughters were granted permission to enter the pitch, donning England jerseys with the number "100" and the inscription "Daddy."
Gareth Southgate's departure as coach following England's defeat in the Euro final against Spain seems to have little impact on Kane anymore. He commended interim gaffer Carsley for doing a "splendid job," asserting that the players enjoyed "great freedom" on the pitch.
Vice-champion Europe has amassed six points from their two matches in the Nations League season, concurrently with Greece, who triumphed 2-0 against Ireland. "To be frank, I'm still perplexed about England's placement in League B," Finland captain Hradecky admitted.
In the Nations League victory against Finland, FC Bayern Munich's star, Harry Kane, scored both goals with his golden boots on. Following his impressive performance, Kane expressed his determination to continue scoring goals and prove his critics wrong.
