Harry Kane aims to beat Wayne Rooney’s record

DBasia.news – Harry Kane is looking to break Wayne Rooney’s England goalscoring record before this year’s World Cup final in Qatar, but the Tottenham Hotspur striker says team performance is more important than personal achievement.

The 28-year-old player needs five more goals to surpass Rooney’s record 53 goals. He is likely to surpass that mark soon as England have two Nations League games against Hungary and Hungary and then Germany and Italy this month.

England will face Italy and Germany again in September.

“I want to solve it as soon as possible, I want to score as many goals as possible in the next four games before the World Cup,” Kane said.

“But I’m a person who doesn’t let that affect me when I’m on the pitch, I have a job to do, it’s not about the goalscoring. it’s about the team getting the three points and winning the game.”

Kane, who was on the pitch against Switzerland in 2015 when Rooney improved Bobby Charlton’s 49-goal record, added the importance of the feat had not been lost on him.

“Of course I think it will be a great achievement. I was lucky enough to play on the pitch and actually score a goal when Wayne broke his record,” he said as quoted by Reuters.

“I saw how much he and his family meant. I didn’t really think that far at the time.”

England will next travel to Munich to face Germany on Tuesday.
