Kane believes players' voices are not taken seriously in the face of a busy schedule

England captain Kane recently talked about coping with the intensive schedule in an interview and said that the players' opinions were not taken seriously enough.
In the earlier World Cup European qualifiers, England defeated Albania 2-0 and Latvia 3-0 respectively, and Kane scored in both games.
Kane, 31, has scored 71 goals for the England national team and has also contributed 32 goals for Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich so far this season.
Kane said in an interview: "If I want to be completely honest, I don't think the players' opinions are really valued. But at the same time, every tournament organizer wants their own games and trophies, and the players are the ones who have to accept the arrangements. This is the fact, but I love playing football, so I will never complain about playing too much."
"I think if we can work with the coach, the manager and the club, we can get more rest time at some point. But it's not a simple problem and the situation is not easy to solve. I think both sides can find a balance, but how to achieve it remains to be seen."
In addition, England will travel to Andorra in the next round of World Cup qualifiers in June.
Tuchel, the coach who led the Three Lions to two consecutive wins, said, "I am not too worried about the number of games the players play throughout the year. I am more worried that they never really have 3 to 4 consecutive weeks of rest. They may have a 3-week vacation, but they may have just rested for 5 days and then have to participate in another competition. This is the problem."
"The players should have at least three to three and a half weeks to prepare for the game, which will be better for everyone. Whether as a club coach or a national team coach, I think it is worth discussing whether the international match day in June is reasonable."
