Captain can drop deep or play as a classic No 9 and will mix it up depending on the opponent and the state of the game
drops deep. All tournament long, people have questioned why he drops deep. Why isn’t England’s No 9 in the box? Why is he so far from goal? Is it ego that makes him think he’s a No 10? Well, here’s the answer. Receiving the ball midway inside Denmark’s half, Kane controls with his left foot and then, with no backlift, plays a defence-splitting pass with his right.
It was an Erling Haaland-esque performance: low involvement in the buildup, plenty of frustration, a narrative defined by whether or not the big chance ends up in the back of the net. Afterwards, though, Kane and Southgate were satisfied with how things had gone. Kane explained that it was part of the plan for him to play high and make space for Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden in between the lines. Southgate talked about the captain’s hold-up play relieving pressure in the second half.
