“The toughest defenders I’ve faced? Yeah, I faced John Terry early in my career, and I thought he was, you know, the reason he is one of the best defenders in the world. Really smart, really intelligent. And then, Chiellini, you know, against Italy, against Juve. He was really tough to play against, again really smart, used his body well, strong, good in the air, so, I’ll probably go with them two,” Kane remarked.
