Hugo Lloris lays down the law to Harry Kane with fighting talk ahead of England showdown

Hugo Lloris says his “strong relationship” with Harry Kane will count for nothing when France and England battle for a World Cup semi-final place.

The Tottenham team-mates and captains of their respective countries are close friends, but that familiarity will be forgotten when they go head-to-head in Doha. “Harry is known all over the world, so I don’t think I can add much to what's already known,” said Lloris.

“We have a very strong relationship. We’ve been together for about nine years, so we know each other very well on and off the pitch. I only have positive things to say about Harry. He’s a very important player for the team, for his club and for England as well. He’s a real leader, an example to his team-mates and a top player.
