Tony Adams: "I might smoke a cigarette if I played against Kane at the World Cup"

Former England defender Tony Adams criticized Three Lions striker Harry Kane.

- To be honest, if I was a defender at this World Cup, I would be happy to play against Harry Kane. He does not run behind defenders. He is a link-up player who is very low. Some may think that I have a bias against him because I suggested that he be stripped of the captain's armband and given to Declan Rice. But this is not the case. It's not that I played for Arsenal and he is a Tottenham player.

We need Harry Kane, he is one of the best forwards, but if I played against him, I would smoke a cigarette, said Tony Adams.
