Harry Kane believes that the locker room of England has become like a gang of brothers.
Kane says that the spirit in the camp has been strengthened after the spectacular victory over Colombia and says that they are ready to fight for each other.
England is about to reach its first World Cup semifinal for 28 years and Kane has painted an image of the unit straight out of the epic mini-series of the Second World War.
English captain Kane said, "Just like the family, really, we spent a lot of time together, we all get along very well, I talked about unity and trust before the tournament, but we want to prove it on the field and show that we can do it.We have done it so far.

"Colombia was huge for us, obviously we had so much grief that a country in knockout matches and shoot-outs." For our young and inexperienced team, overcome that .. It was a difficult night.
"To get through this and fight until the end, to get through the shootout, it was huge, that will give us a huge belief, we will be stronger for that.
"We know that this game could be the same, while going up to the penalties, but we now have it at the bank: we know we can move on the other side. "
It's an unlikely match in the quarter-finals, England has captured the nation's imagination while Sweden has exceeded its own hopes of only being qualified as a ######################################################################################## 39, after a play-off with Italy.
But Kane did not know how to describe who would have imagined a quarter-final with Sweden and England with the winners of Croatia and Russia in the semi-final on Wednesday.
He added, "I'm not sure what you call someone like that, I do not think a lot of people were waiting for the quarterfinal teams to be here. , to be honest.
"And the semifinal, the same thing.The one who gets there? I'm not sure.It's hard to put a name on it.But a lot of fans have dreams.The players have dreams They can be a dreamer. "
Kane already has six goals in his race to be the winner of the Golden Shoe, but the Tottenham striker insists he's not interested in fame personal and that he only wants to help the team succeed.
Incredibly, Kane is the first player since Tommy Lawton in 1939 to score in six consecutive games for England and another would bring him closer to greatness but he modestly insists that there is still the way to go.
Kane said, "No, I do not think about it, I did not know it.It was a beautiful campaign up to now.The job is to help the team as much as possible. , with and without ball, scoring goals or obtaining pbades.
"I hope it can continue and that I continue to score.This would be amazing, but the goal is to help the team.
"You can never write off Ronaldo or Messi, they probably did not have the tournaments they wanted to have, but they are still two of the best players in the world, for me and the other young players who arrive, they are always inspiring.
"They put a bar, we have to go and try to reach." I am very happy with the way he has gone so far, but I want to keep pushing and getting better, and to achieve what they have accomplished in their careers.
"But I hope to keep scoring and we're going far, we do not really think we're world champions yet, we have a long way to go, we're only in the second half of the tournament We have done a lot until now, but we have another step to go through. "
England faces a Swedish team built on its defense and with a remarkable record against the Three Lions – there have been only two English victories in the last 15 meetings.
Having banned two ghosts against Colombia by winning on penalties and winning a knockout match, they must now put another in bed.
Kane added: "Defensively very strong, very compact, they have played well, have achieved very good results, it's up to their team, really, I would not say that they have heaps. of people who stand out.
"The best thing about them is that they are together and stick together on the field.We know it will be a very tough match and we have to be totally focused.
"Their record speaks for itself.A big tournament up here, strong in all parts of their game, plays as well.We need to focus on ourselves and on what we must do to eliminate them.A strong unit.
