Kane had zero goals and missed two close calls. Despite his lackluster performance, he once confessed that he hoped to perform as well as the legend Tom Brady.

The England captain had a remarkable year in 2018 and became a hero for his country when he led his team to the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup. He also won the Golden Boot in Russia. While talking about his rise to the top, he put Brady in the uppermost spot. Kane explained that Tampa Tom became a huge inspiration to him. Even though he was the 199th draft pick, California Cool fought against all odds and became the best in the sport.

“It gave me huge self-belief and confidence that I was going to make it; I was going to prove myself on the big stage. My career has been quite similar.

Therefore, it is not surprising for the soccer player to desire to be as great as him. Maybe Kane can turn the season around like Tom Brady.
