The England national football team is currently in Germany, competing in EURO 2024. Their daily routine doesn’t just involve football, though. For Harry Kane, part of it is… chess.
'THE BEST EVER!' 😤 HARRY KANE v WAYNE ROONEY: ENGLAND FANS DECIDE #shorts
A day before the tournament kicked off on June 14, Harry Kane spoke to GQ Germany and revealed the 10 essentials in his daily routine. Chess was one of them, with the English striker rated 1,200 on chess.com.
"Chess is an important part of my life, mainly because it clears my head of all the stress. If I'm nervous before a game, I can use chess to calm down for a while," Kane said.
"I've only been playing for a couple of years. There was a series that came out, The Queen's Gambit, and since that came out I've started learning, and I've got about a 1200 rating on the 10-minute version on Chess.com. I think that's OK!" Kane added.
