Harry Kane has emphasized that England will indeed discover the correct strategy for achieving success in Euro 2024, despite their underwhelming performance in the 1-1 draw against Denmark on Thursday. In order to advance to the last 16 as the champions of Group C, Gareth Southgate’s team would have needed to defeat the Danes in Frankfurt.
Kane, the captain of England, kick-started the game with a precise close-range goal from Kyle Walker’s deflected pass in the 18th minute. Unfortunately, England lost their momentum thereafter, allowing Denmark to equalize after 34 minutes courtesy of Morten Hjulmand’s impressive 30-yard strike past Jordan Pickford.
The lackluster exhibition put forth by England does not instill fear in their competitors, especially following their narrow 1-0 victory over Serbia in the group stage opener. Nevertheless, Kane, the striker from Bayern Munich, remains convinced that England will eventually hit their stride.
While acknowledging the doubters post-match, Kane remains optimistic about England’s prospects, noting improvements are possible both on and off the ball. He believes a true mark of a top team is achieving results even when not playing at their peak, a quality England has demonstrated in their last two outings.
As it stands, England leads their group with four points and aims to maintain this position in their upcoming match against Slovenia to secure a favorable draw in the last 16 stage. Despite criticism from former players like Alan Shearer and Rio Ferdinand regarding England’s lackluster performance, Kane remains steadfast in his belief that the team will weather the storm and improve step by step, drawing from past experiences in previous tournaments.
