Lee Carsley Backs Harry Kane Amid Champions League Criticism
After Bayern Munich’s Loss to Aston Villa, England’s Interim Manager Defends Kane’s Form
Following a difficult night for Harry Kane in Bayern Munich’s 1-0 loss to Aston Villa, England interim manager Lee Carsley has arrived to defend the striker. Kane, who has often been under criticism for his performances, was silent in the Champions League match, only managing two shots late in the game as Villa shockingly won thanks to an amazing strike from Jhon Duran.
Kane’s quiet night against Villa matched another difficult showing in a 1-1 draw against Bundesliga players Bayer Leverkusen. Critics have pointed fingers quickly, implying that in some of the most pivotal events of the season the star forward has vanished. But for Carsley, Kane’s general output speaks for itself.
“Kane Will Always Score Goals”
Having recently chosen Kane in his 25-man squad for forthcoming England visits against Greece and Finland, Carsley was eager to discount the questions regarding Kane’s downturn in form. “Harry Kane is a player who will always score goals,” Carsley advised journalists. “Remember there are 10 other players on the pitch; although they are expected to provide, strikeers are easy targets sometimes. He requires chances designed for him as well as assistance. He is progressing nicely, in my opinion.
“His goal record flashed up before the Villa game—it’s outstanding and it cannot be questioned.” Carsley said, praising Kane’s record and leadership. He has been exceptional at camp: goal-scoring, rigorous conditioning, and leadership. He is in a good position.
Therefore, even if the detractors may be loud, England’s interim manager is convinced that Kane will recover and that his performance for both club and nation will be as sharp as ever.
