Kane is the tournament’s leading
scorer with six goals and the 24-year-old will carry England’s biggest threat
in the searing Samara heat, as they attempt to reach a first World Cup
semi-final since Italia 90.
And while Kane is happy to share
his responsibility, he believes England’s progress to the last eight for the
first time in 12 years is also down to the special bond among this group of
players.
“We are just like family,” said
Kane, who is expected to line up in an unchanged starting XI on Saturday. “We
spend a lot of time together and we all get on with each other very well. It is
about togetherness and trust.
“I look at them like my brothers
and they look at me the same. We will do anything for each other.”
England’s dramatic victory on
penalties against Colombia in the last 16 – in which Kane scored from the spot
in normal time and again in the shootout – ended a run of three defeats from
three in World Cup shootouts for the national team.
The match was also full of
controversy, with England defender John Stones saying Colombia were probably
the “dirtiest team” he has faced.
“When you go through a battle
like that and come through it, that gives you so much energy, so much belief to
go and do it again,” said Kane.
“The feeling after is amazing.
We’re hungry for more. We want that feeling. If it goes to extra time and
penalties, then we’ll be ready for that.”
