Speaking to reporters, Kane said: "The game against Boca, in particular, will be a great match because I expect a great atmosphere in Miami; a lot of their fans will be there. Overall, we expect some tough matches. Auckland is still an unknown opponent, and of course, we'll be the favourites on paper.
"But we know every team in this competition is strong. We have to prepare well, as we do for every game. For me as a player, it's a great experience to play against teams from different countries around the world."

After bagging the Bundesliga Golden Boot for the second consecutive season, the former Tottenham star has seamlessly integrated into Bayern’s high-octane system. He is confident of delivering on the global stage and believes that the club has the pedigree to become world champions.
"We're certainly one of the favourites," he insisted. "I think this season has shown what kind of team we are. On a good day, we can beat any opponent in the world. It's a tournament we take seriously and are preparing for well. When we arrive in the USA, we'll be fully focused. We're approaching the Club World Cup like any other competition. That's an important mindset."
