Kane closes in on Pele's goalscoring record

Kane is about to reach 77 goals for the national team.

While it may have taken Kane 112 international appearances to achieve this feat – more than the 92 of the 'King of Football' Pele – that does not detract from the extraordinary numbers Kane has produced.

Kane’s form this season continues to be stunning. He has scored 23 goals in 17 games for Bayern Munich. The Times claims that Kane’s failure to get on the scoresheet has been surprising, like the 2-0 win over Serbia on January 14.

Faced with the chance to equal Pele's record, Kane admitted: "Being mentioned next to Pele's name says it all. Sometimes it's hard for me to understand what I'm achieving. Hopefully I can score to equal his record - the symbol of world football."

But for Kane, the most important thing is still the team's victory: "I'm not upset when I don't score. I'm just upset because I missed the opportunity. My role is also to organize, move, and connect the play."

Kane also shared about the Ballon d'Or race and the biggest rival at the moment - Erling Haaland, the striker who scored 19 goals in 15 matches for Man City this season. According to Kane, individual titles only come when winning major tournaments: "Even if I score 100 goals, if I don't win the Champions League or World Cup, it will be difficult for me to win the Ballon d'Or".

In terms of physical condition, Kane confirmed that he is much more fit than Euro 2024 - a tournament affected by a back injury. That makes "Three Lions" fans expect Kane to be able to reach his peak form next summer.

The match at Arena Kombetare between England and Albania will take place in the early morning of November 17. England has already secured a ticket to the 2026 World Cup with a series of 7 consecutive wins in Group K of the European zone.
