Jude Bellingham admitted that it was an honor for him to fight alongside Harry Kane.

After England captain Harry Kane equaled the club's all-time appearance record, Jude Bellingham expressed his belief that the captain will continue to improve. Kane made his 125th appearance for England in their Nations League match against the Czech Republic, equaling the record previously held by legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton.  

Harry Kane's outstanding performance in the match did not surprise Jude Bellingham. The England midfielder said it was a rare honor to play alongside the national team captain.  

Jude Bellingham started alongside Harry Kane in this landmark match and said in a post-match interview: "There's not much to add, everyone's already talked about it a lot. I can only say from my own perspective that he's first and foremost an incredible person."  

"Whether as captain or as a person, he always cared about every teammate around him. Whenever there were problems off the field that needed to be solved, he was always willing to step up and take responsibility. As for his performance on the field, it would be hard to find any more praise to say. He is one of the best players in the history of the England national team, and it was an honor for me to play alongside him."  

When asked if Harry Kane is at the peak of his career, Jude Bellingham said: "I think you can definitely say that. The level of play he's showing right now is very rare. It would be hard to find a player at the same level, even on a global scale."  

“He can still score goals easily, while also dropping back to receive the ball, delivering passes that break down the defense or shifting the ball to the wings, and contributing to the team in many ways. Now, he even actively tracks back, makes tackles, and performs other defensive tasks. He will only continue to get better, so we must enjoy and take advantage of his excellent performances for as long as possible.”  

Speaking about the victory over the Czech Republic, Jude Bellingham pointed out that this was England's third consecutive win, following their defeat to Spain in their opening UEFA Nations League match. He added, "This is exactly the result we need right now. I know many teams come here with a more conservative strategy; they'll retreat and try to cause us as much trouble as possible. But the final score speaks for itself. We won 3-0 and kept a clean sheet, so it's hard to be dissatisfied with such a result."
