‘This could be a nice wake-up call for everyone’ – Kanepublished at 07:39
Captain Harry Kane says England’s 1-0 defeat against Iceland at Wembley on Friday “could be a nice wake-up call” before Euro 2024.
England are one of the tournament favourites but were booed off after a poor display in the final warm-up game.
Kane, who scored 36 Bundesliga goals in his debut season at Bayern Munich, said there was a lot to improve on before the Euros start in Germany on Friday.
“Of course there will be some noise about it [losing to Iceland] but I think there is a lot of optimism from the fans and rightly so,” added the 30-year-old. “Ultimately it is down to us to make sure we get it right on the pitch.
“This could be a nice wake-up call for everyone to realise it is not going to be as easy as people think. There is a lot of work to do.”
