Harry Kane, the captain of England, acknowledged that his team faced intense scrutiny prior to their UEFA Nations League match against Germany on Monday night at Wembley.
Kane stated that Gareth Southgate’s England had a “point to prove” against Germany after going six games without a win.
Last night, England rallied from a 2-0 deficit to draw 3-3 with Hansi Flick’s team. The Tottenham Hotspur striker scored from 12 yards to give England their third goal.
“The boys have been under pressure with recent results and we all came out here with a point to prove,” Kane told Channel 4.
“There are lessons we can still learn from the mistakes we made, but we scored three goals and I feel like this will put us in a positive mindset ahead of the World Cup.
“We’re going to have to be ready come the start of the tournament. Major tournament football is different to any other football you play for England.
“The pressure is high and the concentration has to be high and I feel like we respond well to that.”
He added, “We will go away with our clubs and hopefully, everyone goes away fit, strong and ready to come back in November.”
