He will be 34 years old in Euro 2028, which will be organized at home in England and Ireland and Harry Kane wants a role as a protagonist in this Euro.
He is passing a great moment in Munich and wants to hold this level as soon as possible with the national team and also with his current club Bayern Munich. His objective is to win a major tournament with England and he will do his best to achieve this objective.
“That’s football. It didn’t end the way we wanted it to but for sure there will be a bit between our teeth. Not just in Germany next summer but being at home [in 2028] and playing games at Wembley will bring back memories of the last Euros. To win a tournament would be special but to win it in your home country would be a dream come true.”
The fact that Euro 2024 is organized in Germany gives Harry more strength and motivation to carry on. He thinks that most people think that the career is over as long as a sportsman hits 30 years, but this is not true.
“The perception in sport or football is that you hit 30 and people start to think it’s the end,” he said. “But the way I am looking at it is that I almost have the second half of my career now.
“I played in the first team at Spurs from 20 or 21 so I have had nine or 10 years at the highest level and I am hoping for another eight or nine years. With recovery, sports science, and the way the game has been adapted, it has allowed players to play for longer. We may have a bit more information over what the players had in the past.”
Kane has a lot of great examples and he wants to follow them as a guidance for the upcoming years in his career.
“I have been coming to a stage over the last year or two when it has been coming together – having the experience, knowing your body, knowing the way you want to play, playing in high-pressure games. When you look at a lot of the top-level players – Ronaldo, Messi, Lewandowski, Ibrahimovic – they have almost got better as they hit 30.
“Everything is maybe settled in your personal life, family, kids. You are comfortable with your body and you are comfortable mentally, where you are at, and that just allows you to focus on the football.”
Kane wants to continue at the high levels and try winning a major competition with England, the Euros, or the World Cup. As it stands, the player is in excellent form and will keep scoring for Bayern Munich.
