Kane Will Keep Wandering To Midfield – Danny Mills

Former England defender Danny Mills has said that Harry Kane will never stop wandering in midfield despite playing as a striker. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, because Kane has never been blessed with a lot of pace, he prefers to stretch the game by dropping deep to help his teammates dominate from the middle.

Mills, however, added that Harry’s wandering could be a potential problem since he is supposed to be England’s focal point.

His words, “I think that’s always going to be the case. Harry Kane has never been blessed with pace, so it’s not like he’s lost a yard of pace. He’s always been incredibly intelligent in the way that he plays.

He often plays as a number 9, as a 10, as a 9.5 if you like, dropping into those positions. So, to do that, you do need pace in the wing areas. You have to stretch the game in some way, shape or form. So, you need those players that are going to run in behind.

Bellingham will do that, Saka, [Noni] Madueke will do that – Rashford and [Anthony] Gordon on the other side will do that and stretch the game, which allows Kane to drop into those positions. That’s just fairly standard football. It’s not particularly rocket science being able to do that.

Sometimes, obviously, it’s not always easy to execute that because you have an opposition trying to stop you and dictate the tempo of play. I think the only concern is that Harry Kane is our focal point. If anything happens to Harry, you do start to wonder where we go from there.”

WOW.
