Former Tottenham striker Harry Kane is currently enjoying his best career form as he contributed two goals in England’s 5-0 win over Latvia, securing England’s World Cup qualification. The striker now has 21 goals in 13 matches for club and country so far this season.
When questioned if he was producing his very best in an interview with ITV, the 32 year old Englishman had this to say, “I’d say so. The numbers are there.
“But it’s the way I’m feeling on the pitch, the way I’m seeing the passes and the runs, physically I’m in a good place, in a good moment.”
He went on to state that securing a spot in next summer’s tournament in North America with two matches to spare was quite admirable to him.
“We make it look easy but these groups can be tough and we have to be fully focused in every game.
“Qualifying with two games to go is a great achievement, zero goals conceded, playing some great football,” he said.
Thomas Tuchel on Kane performance
While England celebrate their qualification, head coach Thomas Tuchel criticized fans following their win over Wales as their support were not sufficient by his standards. However, Kane praised those who traveled to Latvia, “I don’t think you can question our away support ever. They were fantastic tonight. America will be a special place to play and we have something to look forward to.”
Tuchel who agreed with Kane on both his personal form and the fans praised their efforts from the beginning to the end of the match, “I got some stick in the first half – fair enough and we’ll done. A good sense of humour and no problem. It was a brilliant support from start to finish.”
When asked whether Kane was the best striker he worked with, he said: “he is on top of the list, He is in top shape, mentally and physically, full of confidence.”
Tuchel then went on to praise the brilliance of his team saying their dream of going to America were actualized with another good performance: six wins and clean sheets.
England are top of the UEFA Group K standings and will end their successful qualifying campaign with games against Serbia and Albania on Nov. 13 and Nov. 16 respectively. They won’t know their group stage opponents until the World Cup draw on Dec. 5 in Washington D.C.
