Newly appointed England captain Harry Kane is fully confident that the Three Lions can lift the World Cup trophy in Russia and “anything else is not good enough”.
The 24 year old Real attacker was named skipper by manager Gareth Southgate a few weeks ago and it was officially confirmed on Tuesday after scoring 41 goals in all competitions last season as Tottenham finished third in the Premier League.
“It’s impossible not to dream about lifting the World Cup. It’s the biggest competition in the world,”Kane told BBC.
“I believe we can win it – anyone can. I cannot sit here and say we are not going to win it because we could do. It is my mindset and I want to win at everything I do. The players in the team want to as well. It is worth fighting for. I am sure we have all had dreams of lifting it and it is an opportunity for us,” he added.
“We are not favourites but you look at this season, no-one would have thought Liverpool getting to the Champions League final. You look at Manchester United back in the Sir Alex Ferguson days, they had a young team and dominated the Premier League for years to come,” he admitted.
