England's Press Failing Team, Say Kane and Southgate
Kane's Substitution Sparks Debate
England manager Gareth Southgate has come under fire from the press after substituting captain Harry Kane during their 1-1 draw with Denmark at the European Championship. Kane had scored England's only goal of the game, but was replaced by Marcus Rashford in the 75th minute. The decision was met with widespread criticism, with many pundits believing that Kane should have been left on the pitch to try and win the game.
Southgate Defends Decision
Southgate defended his decision after the game, saying that he felt Kane was tired and needed to be rested. He also said that he believed Rashford would provide a fresh spark to the team. However, Kane's substitution has led to questions about Southgate's management style and his ability to get the best out of his players.
Kane Praised for Mentality and Professionalism
Despite the criticism, Southgate praised Kane for his quality mentality and professionalism. He said that Kane was a "great example" for the rest of the team and that he was proud of the way he had handled the situation. Kane's record-breaking 54th England goal helped Southgate's side secure a 2-1 victory over Ukraine in their next game, and he will be hoping to continue his good form when England face Germany in the semi-finals.
Kane Becomes England's All-Time Record Goalscorer
Captain Harry Kane has recovered from a back injury and is looking forward to leading England in their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign. Kane became England's all-time record goalscorer with his 54th goal for the Three Lions in a 2-1 win over Ukraine in June 2023. He is now one goal ahead of Wayne Rooney, who held the previous record.
