In Matchday 4 of the UEFA Nations League A, England secured a dominant 3-0 victory over the Czech Republic at home. Kane, who scored two goals in the match, was interviewed by beIN Sports afterwards.

It's great to have you here today. You've now matched Peter Shilton's record for England appearances with 125 caps. You scored two goals and provided one assist tonight, and your England goal tally has reached an impressive 91. Surely you couldn't have expected a night like this?

No, you don't expect these things, but I think it's the result of a lot of hard work, dedication, and belief in yourself. It was an incredible night. Matching England's appearance record is now far beyond my wildest imagination. As I said, bringing my goal tally for England to 91 and helping the team win again at Wembley is the perfect way to celebrate this milestone.

And this also coincides with the Ballon d'Or nominations. Was that planned?

The voting is closed, so it doesn't really have any impact. We just have to wait and see the result. But I always say that I'm in my best form right now. For me, what's most satisfying is that I've carried last season's form into this year. At this level, consistency is one of the most important things, and that's what separates top players from the rest.

I'm in a good place now, so it's great to be back on the pitch with my teammates. This camp has been long and demanding, and it's fantastic to cap it off with a strong performance tonight.

I'm just kidding about the Ballon d'Or because I still remember your England debut. Looking back, what have been the most important moments for you, and who played a crucial role in your journey?

My England debut is still one of my favourite matches. It was a dream come true, and I scored very quickly. I've been incredibly fortunate to have an amazing family, friends, teammates, and coaching staff around me who have always pushed me forward. That's my mentality too. I'm very grateful to them; they've helped me achieve everything I have so far. And we're not finished yet. I'm in a good phase now, and I know everyone will continue to push me, and I'll continue to push myself. Hopefully I can help my team and teammates become even better.

You've spoken before about the pain of losing to Argentina in the semi-final last summer, but you eventually finished third. Now the team has also developed a new identity under Tuchel, and he's just mentioned that as long as everyone is willing to take risks and look out for each other, we should stick with this style of play. Things are starting to show now. How much has the team's atmosphere and belief changed? Are you starting to believe more that you can achieve something, even win the European Championship at home?

I think this camp has been very important for us. Of course, we all know how disappointing last summer was. Even now, it still feels like it was only yesterday. Then we got straight back to work, and this time we had two and a half weeks of training together.

I think we made a good start, actually. Although we didn't get the result we wanted against Spain, I think there were moments in that match where we played well, and it gave us more confidence. If we want to be a top team, we have to stick to our own way. We can't keep changing ourselves just because we face different opponents. We have a style of play that suits us best—maintaining physical intensity and playing with Premier League tempo. You saw it again tonight.

Yes, there may be moments in the match where the opposition gets some chances, but ultimately, when we have attacking players, midfielders, and so many players who can create these opportunities, we have to always be a threat. I think you've seen that very clearly during this camp.
