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.
