But I think he needs his manager to say \u2018Right, I need a little bit more from you, Harry\u2019. I would have expected that if I had had that kind of performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s up against three at the back so he has got to stretch that team. Even when he comes short, you\u2019ve got to go that way first, to keep them up there, and then you come short so that when you\u2019ve got the ball coming short, you don\u2019t have to go 20 yards to go short.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/01j0x66et6f87jw9c860.jpg\" alt=\"Harry Kane, Kieran Trippier\" title=\"Harry Kane, Kieran Trippier\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Harry Kane had given England an 18th minute lead \/ Catherine Ivill \u2013 AMA\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>\u201cAnd he just ambles in and they (defenders) just let him go so he\u2019s not creating space for himself for starters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kane fronted up to the cameras at full-time, where\u00a0England\u2019s captain admitted that the team are struggling both in and out of possession and that things must improve. The 30-year-old, who enjoyed a fabulous individual season at Bayern Munich, did, however, say that the sign of a good team is avoiding defeat when not playing at the desired level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we said before the tournament there\u2019s no easy games and I think that\u2019s showing,\u201d\u00a0Kane\u00a0told\u00a0<em>BBC One<\/em>\u00a0immediately after the final whistle of the 1-1 draw. \u201cWe\u2019ve got levels we can reach and we can be better both with and without the ball. I think the sign of a good team is when you\u2019re not playing at your best and still find a way to get results like we have in the last two games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re top of the group. We know we can improve. I know there will probably loads of noise and a bit of disappointment back home but we experienced this in the last Euros as well when we drew to Scotland. Step by step, we\u2019ll get there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019re struggling both with and without the ball. I think the pressure in both games hasn\u2019t been right and with the ball hasn\u2019t been good enough. Everyone\u2019s dropping below their levels a little bit. It was tough out there, but we\u2019re calm. It wasn\u2019t our greatest game but we got away with a point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legendary England striker Gary Lineker claimed Harry Kane must improve his movement and off the ball work in the aftermath of the 1-1 draw with Denmark at\u00a0Euro 2024.
