England striker Harry Kane is confident he can handle the weight of expectation upon him -- but is also glad he has Wayne Rooney to turn to for advice.
Kane scored 31 goals for Tottenham as well as netting on his senior international debut in a major breakthrough season last term.
However, he has joined up with England ahead of Saturday's Euro 2016 qualifier in San Marino without find the back of the net in 2015-16.
When asked about being under increased scrutiny following his 2014-15 exploits, Kane, 22, said: "I think that was always going to be the case.
"And you are going to go through spells where you are on fire and everything you touch turns to goals, and others when it doesn't go your way.
"But I'm very focused and confident in my own ability. I know if I keep doing the right things, the goals will come.
"I need to try not to worry about the outside part of the game.''
England and Manchester United captain Rooney -- hoping to become his country's record goalscorer this weekend -- recently broke his duck for the season with a hat trick against Club Brugge.
And regarding his fellow frontman, Kane said: "When you look at someone like Wayne -- doing it year in, year out, playing for club and country and doing so well -- it shows it can be done.
"I need to use that experience for my game. It can only help me move forward.
"I'm sure I will get to talk to him while the week goes -- to pick his brain, seeing how he has dealt with it and what he has done to keep in good shape over all those years, and try to use that to help me.''
Rooney has 48 England goals, one behind Sir Bobby Charlton on the all-time list.
Asked about the prospect of the 29-year-old reaching the landmark, Kane said: "Hopefully he can break the record on this trip.
"He is an incredible talent, a world-class player and trains very hard to be where he is. It is great to be able to train with him, talk to him and learn from him. He is an all-round top player and top man.''
