The 30-year-old England captain faced the media on Sunday afternoon as preparations continue in Blankenhain for Tuesday’s final Group C match against Slovenia in Cologne. England are staying at Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land and have been made to feel welcome in the beautiful state of Thuringia, where Kane has been offered the chance to make a new permanent home. Local comedian Jonas Greiner, representing broadcaster MDR Jump, asked the striker about his views on the area, before changing gears and offering him the chance to extend his stay in the region.
“Could you imagine to live here one day? Do you want to stay? We have a seventh division team you may have heard of, SG Lauscha/Neuhaus,” he said as he brought out a contract to laughter in the press room. “They have a contract offer for you. You get free Thuringia rostbratwurst all you can eat, free drinks in every bar, and mindestlohn (minimum wage).
“You will have much more time for the national team. If you want, I have your jersey here.” Greiner brought out a luminous yellow Lauscha/Neuhaus shirt with the number 20 on the back, leading a smiling Kane to say: “It’s very well prepared.
I’ll have to talk to my agent and see what we can do! “But you have good golf courses. I mean the golf course we’re staying on is fantastic so, yeah, it’s not a bad plus. “It’s been great.
You know the reception I’ve had not just here but in the whole of Germany has been incredible. I think since I moved to Bay.
