Harry Kane has said his World Cup penalty miss against France has made him ‘even more hungry’ to be successful
It was the first serious on-field setback of Kane’s senior career, after he established himself in the Tottenham team in the 2014-15 season, but he said he would not allow it to undermine his performances.Kane’s miss meant he remains level with Wayne Rooney on 53 England goals and he will hope to set the record in March when the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign begins with ties against Italy and Ukraine.
“After it happened, I just wanted to play again as quick as possible and get it out of my head. It’s something you have to deal with,” he told theof the penalty miss. “I’ll probably remember it for the rest of my life, but that’s part of the game. It’s not going to affect me as a player or as a person. I’ll keep working hard to improve.”
Kane was taunted by a section of Brentford fans in his first league game back after the World Cup, although he did score in. He was then a part of the dismal 2-0 home loss to Aston Villa before the recovery against Palace. “It was a tough moment for me,” Kane continued. “It’s never an easy thing to go through, but it’s part of football, part of the highs and lows of our sport. I had a bit of time away after, just to reflect, and it’s made me even more hungry to come back and be successful. So nights like last night [against Palace] are always good for me and the team, and it was much needed after the last couple of results as well.
