'My position now is as one of two 10s' - Kane breaks down his evolution
As Harry Kane's career has progressed, the 33-year-old has taken an increasingly complete role, popping up to collect the ball as deep as his own box.
Many wonder why a talisman tasked with scoring doesn't spend more time closer to goal, but last season the England and Bayern Munich striker scored 73 goals - the highest tally of his career - while playing deeper than he ever has done.
When I mention this paradox, a grin spreads across his face.
"Until you really understand football and understand what we've been talking about, it's so easy to say 'stay high, you're going to score' but it doesn't work like that," Kane says.
I sat down to speak to Kane about the finer details of his game, shedding light on his unique role.
Watching Kane train, his professionalism is palpable. England's record goalscorer is one of the first out on the pitch. The younger players indulge in playful kick-ups as he watches, engaged in conversation with a member of staff.
From a distance, that makes it easy to confuse him with a coach but, given his role on the pitch, it is a fitting mistake.
