Today's Three Lions Legion, who is the most representative figure, is none other than captain Harry Kane.
What comes to mind when you think of Three Lions England? Whether it is the classic moment of winning the World Cup in 1966 led by Bobby Charlton, or the regret of repeated defeats in every major tournament in the past two decades, or the young England that has been rampant in recent years. England once produced countless star-studded stars, belonging to our memories, is the crazy celebration after the genius Gascoigne rushed all the way to score, is the heartthrob David Beckham's iconic full moon machete, is the spirit of the wind-chasing teenager Owen, became famous in the first war, is the tragic story of the era of double Germany. And now, after a little ups and downs, England is back on the right track for him, fourth place in the 2018 World Cup, runner-up in Euro 2021, although it lost to France in the 2022 World Cup, but it is undeniable that England's strength players have shown a blowout trend in recent years. In the 2022 World Cup, young players such as Bellingham, Saka, Foden, Rice and others have emerged, but there is still some distance from world-class stars. To say that the current English team, the most powerful is Harry Kane.
Kane came through the Tottenham Academy and was promoted to Tottenham's first team in the 09-10 season. After a few years on loan, it was not until the 13-14 season that he began to establish himself at Tottenham. In the 15-16 season, Kane scored a total of 25 goals in the Premier League, won the Premier League Golden Boot award, and broke the Tottenham Hotspur player's single-season goal record, becoming the first English home Golden Boot winner in the 21st century. Since then, Kane has been like a man of two goals, and goals have become a hand-to-hand affair: in the 16-17 season, Kane scored 29 goals in 30 league games and defended the Premier League Golden Boot; On 26 December 2017, Kane scored a hat-trick against Southampton in the Premier League, surpassing Alan Shearer as the Premier League's most goalscorer of the year and the top five league goalscorers of 2017; A month later, Kane became Tottenham's all-time Premier League top scorer; In February 2023, Kane was officially crowned Tottenham's all-time top scorer, and his value rose to 150 million euros at his peak.
But Tottenham are a small temple after all, and although Kane can kill all sides on the pitch, it is not enough to bring Tottenham to the championship. In the years that Kane has led, although Tottenham Hotspur seems to have the strength to win the championship every time, they have always played the role of accompanying the prince to study, and so far they have only won the 18-19 Champions League runner-up. To be fair, Tottenham are not completely incapable of competing for titles, in recent years, Tottenham have hired famous managers such as Pochettino, Jose Mourinho, Conte, etc., and have also invested considerable signings in recent years, but except for Pochettino's small achievements, everything else has been a feather. At the national team level, Kane is still the most consistent scoring point, even scoring 6 goals in the 2018 World Cup and winning the Golden Boot, but still unable to break England's nearly fifty-year championship curse.
A good professional player, if there is no heavyweight champion, then he will only regret it for life. Kane has moved the mind to leave Tottenham, Kane tried to transfer to Manchester City in the summer of 2021, but Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy did not budge, and also let Manchester City give up Kane, and since the winter of 2022 Manchester United has targeted Kane, Kane also wants to remain in the Premier League, so a transfer to Manchester United is possible. But this time it was Levy who stopped Kane's dream, declaring that Tottenham would not let Kane move to other Premier League teams.
The turnaround came from the attention of Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. Before Tuchel was officially appointed Bayern manager, he secretly approached Harry Kane in hopes of persuading Kane to join. After Kane agreed after a fierce battle of ideas, Bayern officially submitted an offer to Tottenham this summer. After bargaining with Levy, Tottenham accepted the 100 million euro + 20 million euro floating condition, Harry Kane finally realized his dream of being a giant, and Bayern finally had a real top center forward. And Bayern paid such a huge price for the 30-year-old player, which shows how much Kane attaches importance.
In the 23-24 Bundesliga opener, Bayern Munich beat Bremen 4-0, and Kane showed outstanding performances in this game, not only assisting Sane's goal, but also scoring his first goal at Bayern. Such a great performance in the Bundesliga debut clearly delighted the Bayern club and fans, Kane's excellent passing ability and superb shooting skills have added absolute strength to Bayern's attacking line. Some fans even joked that Harry Kane does not need to adapt at all, and can directly attack the city, which shows his strong ability. A three-time Premier League Golden Boot winner, Kane holds a number of Premier League records, including the most away goals, the most goals scored in a calendar year, and the most goals scored for the same club. To date, Kane has scored 213 Premier League goals, second only to retired Premier League all-time goalscorer Alan Shearer.
After experiencing setbacks and helplessness, losing championships and glory, Harry Kane has now reached a new beginning. As England's number one star and the current top scorer in the Premier League, Kane has stuck his Premier League goal count at 213, but his goals will not stop, his footsteps continue, chasing the title dream in his heart, Harry Kane set sail in a foreign land!
