‘Our task is to get better’published at 19:44 British Summer Time 6 September
England captain Harry Kane: We did extremely well to get to the final. I don’t think we reached the levels we know we can.
Whenever it ends in defeat, you are back into your own life and back for the new season. As a team a lot of positives from the summer but it is about improving and a lot of areas we can improve.
Our task is to get better. When you get so close to reaching pinnacle of career, it is really difficult. It just makes me more motivated and puts the fire in the belly to get there again and have a different outcome.
Gareth was a big part of my career and all we can say is thankyou and we look forward to another chapter.
I have been playing nine years for England and I still remember my first camp. It is great to see the youngsters train with that freedom. You want to see players pushing you like that.
