Harry Kane admitted that things “haven’t been right” from England team two games into Euro 2024, although the captain is keen to focus on likely reaching the knockouts already, without playing well, being a “sign of a good team”.
England’s most talented squad in a generation was widely lauded before the tournament, but the ability in the group hasn’t translated to the pitch so far. Having gone ahead against both Serbia and Denmark, Gareth Southgate’s team have failed to kill either game off and been pegged back.
Where Serbia didn’t quite have the quality to punish England, Denmark did.
“I think we said before the tournament there’s no easy games and I think that’s showing,” Kane told BBC One immediately after the final whistle of the 1-1 draw. “We’ve 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’re not playing at your best and still find a way to get results like we have in the last two games.
“We’re 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’ll get there.”
