Harry Kane has broken his silence on the viral post-match interview that saw him lose his voice while celebrating England's World Cup victory over Mexico. The Three Lions captain described the moment as the 'perfect end to a perfect night' in a new video shared on social media.
Kane's Voice Returns
In the video, Kane reassured fans that his voice had returned, saying: "As you can hear, my voice is back." He then chuckled about the interview, which had become a sensation on social media, with even Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher joining in the jokes. "I mean, what an all-timer of an interview that was," Kane said. "To see everyone having a good laugh about it all over social media, it was a perfect interview to end a perfect night."
A Memorable Match
Kane scored one of England's three goals in the hard-fought victory at the Estadio Azteca in the last-16 of the World Cup. He called the match one of the most memorable of his 119-cap England career. "Going into that game was so special, the atmosphere, the stadium, everyone was so excited to be there and play in this iconic game," he said. "To come through the adversities during the game and battle the way we did, put our bodies on the line, the boys covering every blade of grass, it's one of my favourite games in an England shirt without a doubt."
Fan Support
England's fans were in full voice at the stadium despite being heavily outnumbered, while supporters back home took advantage of a one-off licensing law allowing pubs to stay open until 5am. Kane acknowledged their contributions, saying: "We knew the test, how tough it would be. Incredible night, we appreciate all the support. We had loads in the stadium, loads back home staying up late, so the connection with everyone is even stronger now and we feel that more than ever."
Looking ahead, Kane added: "We recover now, we calm down, have a couple days relaxing then get prepared for a massive quarter final."
