Bayern Munich’s Thomas Muller sent a message to Harry Kane upon the England striker’s arrival at the team’s base camp for the Euros. Muller, who had stayed at the same five-star resort as Germany before England, wrote “All the best” on the back of a photo of himself and gave it to Kane. The Bayern forward also posted a picture of the envelope, showing that it was intended for his teammate.
Kane expressed his appreciation for the warm reception he has received in Germany since joining Bayern Munich. He mentioned that staff members at the hotel where England is staying have greeted him and conveyed their support, suggesting that they may have a soft spot for England now that he is part of the team. This camaraderie and positive atmosphere bode well for England as they prepare for the tournament.
The England captain believes that his team deserves to be considered one of the tournament favorites. He expressed confidence in the attacking prowess of players like Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze, Cole Palmer, Anthony Gordon, and Jarrod Bowen. Kane believes that their talent and ability to score goals can be instrumental in dismantling their opponents, starting with Serbia in their opening match.
Former England midfielder Jack Wilshere also weighed in on the team’s lineup. He suggested a more attacking approach, with just one holding midfielder and players like Foden and Jude Bellingham in advanced midfield roles. Wilshere advocated for using the team’s ball-dominating players to their advantage and aiming for goals. Additionally, he recommended selecting Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back to provide creativity and Kyle Walker as a pacey center-back.
Kane acknowledged that being one of the tournament favorites comes with added pressure but emphasized that England is determined to make history by winning their first Euros. He praised the current squad as one of the best, highlighting their form in domestic competitions and the influx of young, fearless talent. Kane expressed his willingness to guide and support his teammates, but also emphasized the strong sense of togetherness within the squad, which he believes will be crucial to their success.
In a positive development, defender John Stones returned to training after missing a session due to illness. This news provides a boost for England as they continue their preparations for the tournament.
