Harry Kane, the captain of the England football team, believes that the forthcoming heatwave in the United States will serve as perfect preparation for next year’s World Cup. This sentiment follows his performance that helped Bayern Munich secure a place in the last 16 of the Club World Cup at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium on Friday.
The 31-year-old forward netted his first goal of the tournament as the Bundesliga champions overcame a determined Boca Juniors side, advancing to the knockout stage with a match remaining.
While forecasts predict temperatures climbing above 40 degrees Celsius across the country in the coming days, Kane downplayed any worries, asserting it will be a “valuable experience” as they aim for World Cup success next summer.
“It’s an integral part of football; adaptation is key,” he stated.
“This experience is invaluable for me and several of my England teammates who will be competing in the World Cup next year.”
“There’s something extraordinary about World Cup matches, and next year will be no different. Stepping off that pitch, drenched in sweat and fully exerted, especially after a victory, brings a unique feeling of accomplishment.”
Defender Trent Alexander-Arnold mentioned that coping with the oppressive conditions during his debut for Real Madrid in Miami was “exceptionally challenging and vastly different from what we’re used to in England.”
Kane noted that he and Alexander-Arnold hadn’t discussed the weather, but indicated it would be “a topic of conversation in the upcoming England training camps.”
“Every bit of experience counts as it’s going to be tough next summer, and we should leverage evenings like tonight to our advantage.”
“I’m feeling good,” he continued. “It is a lengthy season, but I’ve managed this for seven or eight years with minimal summer downtime. You learn to adapt and take the necessary precautions for recovery.”
“I’m fit and ready to go, so I will reflect on what worked and what didn’t as we head into next year.”
