At 33, Harry Kane continues to panic with the England team. After scoring a double in the big victory against Croatia (7-0), the Bayern Munich striker is preparing to equal Peter Shilton’s selection record. With 124 appearances, he will reach 125 caps if he plays against the Czech Republic at Wembley, while his total goals with the Three Lions now stands at 89. An exceptional longevity that Thomas Tuchel’s assistant, Anthony Barry, attributes in particular to the daily demands of the English captain.

Having also worked with Cristiano Ronaldo when he was Portugal assistant coach, Barry did not hesitate to place Kane very high in the hierarchy of finishers he worked with. “He’s the best finisher I’ve ever worked with, out of all the great players I’ve worked with – Cristiano and all those others”he particularly affirmed according to The Telegraph. The Englishman impresses with his precision with both feet and his consistency in front of goal, to the point of pushing Barry to release a particularly strong comparison: “He hits the ball better than Ronaldo. » For the English assistant, Kane’s professionalism, from his diet to his recovery, also offers him the best guarantees to further extend his career at the highest level.
