Kane: Need to Enter the Opposition Box More Often Against Netherlands; Expectations for Us Are Growing

On July 11 at 03:00, in the semi-finals of the European Cup, Netherlands will face England. Before the match, England’s captain, Harry Kane, attended a press conference.

Kane said, “The change in formation doesn’t really affect me. If Bellingham or Foden are in the center, I might move out wide. Tomorrow, I need to get into the box more often, trying to cause problems for defenders where they don’t want to deal with me.”

“Depay and Weghorst are two different strikers, and whoever plays will have a different impact on the Dutch team. From our perspective, we always analyze the opposition, looking at how they can hurt us. They are both excellent forwards, and reaching the semi-finals of the European Cup proves their quality. Stopping them is going to be a tough task.”

“De Ligt is my teammate at Bayern Munich, but I’m not sure if he’ll start tomorrow. And over the years, I’ve faced Van Dijk many times, and it’s been close matches between us. Whoever plays, they’re going to be difficult opponents. But I enjoy competing against the best players in the world, that’s why you want to play in these games.”

“I know what kind of pressure we’re under, but we don’t discuss this issue in the dressing room. The experienced players among us all know what it feels like to represent England in international tournaments. As we continue to improve, expectations naturally rise, which is normal. Perhaps there’s even more expectation and attention on us now, but I think we’re handling it well. Reaching the European Cup final twice in a row would be an incredible achievement, and we have the opportunity to do that.”
