Kane Was Not Himself At The Euro 2024 Tournament – Gary Lineker

England legend, Gary Lineker has come out to say that Harry Kane may soon consider retirement. He recently revealed that the prolific striker is currently facing a horrible dilemma, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Kane was definitely not himself at the Euro 2024 tournament, and he is in his 30s now, so he will not surprised if he is already thinking about ending his international career.

Lineker added that it is a very horrible experience when the legs of a footballer starts to go at a older age.

His words, “Part of [looking to] the future in my mind was what England do, what does Harry Kane do? He was not himself in this tournament. He’s in his 30s now. When I was 30, 31, my legs started to go. I retired from international football at 32. At 31 that was happening [legs going] and it’s horrible, it’s horrible.”

On his own England retirement, “I felt [it] in that last season – which is one of the reasons I decided to retire from international football, to finish in English football, to move to Japan. I could feel my legs going. I was poor in that last [major tournament]. I was made a martyr because Graham Taylor brought me off but he had every right to bring me off because I was past my best. It happens to some people at some point. Maybe he was just tired or carrying a little something that affected him and that [his legs going] might not be the case. But I wonder. What is he, coming up to 31 now? That’s exactly the time when I started to feel that way.”

WOW.
