Football News: Euro 2024, Champions League, FIFA World Cup, and More
While England got their Euro 2024 campaign off to a winning start against Serbia on Sunday evening, not everybody was impressed with the performance. A first-half goal from talismanic playmaker Jude Bellingham was deemed by many to have rescued a poor England, with captain Harry Kane coming under a lot of criticism for failing to affect the game.
“I think he’s always changing his game for the better,” Sheringham said on behalf of TG Casino. “He’s a very clever footballer. I think he changes his game to adapt to whatever is wanted from him. I would have no complaints about Harry Kane last night. I know he didn’t touch the ball a lot, especially in the first half. But he was doing what was needed of him.”
While Bellingham’s match-winning display drew plaudits, Sheringham feels the goal may not have been possible without Kane’s selfless hustle.
“You saw with the goal how much space there was for Jude Bellingham to drive into, to get his head on that ball,” says Sheringham. “That space isn’t there unless Kane is occupying defenders and dragging them into places they don’t want to go.”
England’s second group game is against Denmark on Thursday evening. Gareth Southgate’s side are among the favourites to win the Euro 2024 competition.
