England captain Harry Kane has voiced his concerns that his remarkable goalscoring achievements are often "taken for granted." The 31-year-old striker, who is the all-time leading scorer for the Three Lions with 69 goals, expressed his feelings ahead of England's World Cup qualifier against Albania. Kane noted that despite his impressive tally, he senses a certain boredom among fans regarding his performances, particularly when he scores against lesser-known teams.

Kane compared his situation to that of legendary players Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who faced similar scrutiny when their goal tallies began to dwindle slightly. He stated, "It’s like when Ronaldo and Messi were throwing these crazy numbers out there... People take it for granted." Kane believes that if he were younger, his achievements would be celebrated more enthusiastically.

Despite a stellar record in the Bundesliga, where he has netted 21 goals in 24 appearances for Bayern Munich this season, Kane has faced criticism from the German media. He acknowledged the challenges of maintaining high expectations but remains motivated to prove his critics wrong. Kane also mentioned that being at a prestigious club like Bayern Munich has elevated his status and provided him with opportunities to aim for individual accolades like the Ballon d'Or.

With England's campaign underway, Kane is eager to continue proving his worth on the international stage, emphasizing that he is excited about the upcoming matches and determined to contribute to his team's success.
