England’s disjointed displays in the 1-0 win against Serbia and 1-1 draw with Denmark has seen the team come under intense scrutiny.
Harry Kane wants outspoken ex-England players to remember what it is like to wear the shirt and how tough tournaments were for them before criticising Gareth Southgate’s side.
Former striker Gary Lineker labelled the display “s***” on his podcast, having said that Kane “needs to do a lot better”, with fellow pundit Alan Shearer another critical voice.“I would never want to be disrespectful to any player, especially a player who has worn the shirt and knows what it is like to play for England,” skipper Kane said.
“The bottom line is we haven’t won anything as a nation for a long, long time and a lot of these players were part of that as well and they know how tough it is, so it is not digging anyone out. “We all want to win a major tournament and I’m sure they want us to win a major tournament and being as helpful as they can and building the lads up with confidence would be a much better way of going about it.”
Asked whether he would contact any of the pundits, Kane said: “It depends on the situation, I guess. I don’t think there’s a need for it at the moment.“With podcasts and things like that people are trying to promote their own channels and sometimes the headline, because you want the most views, isn’t always what people want to see.
“I’m not disappointed because, look, I’ve played football long enough now, I know how they work,” the midfielder told ITV. “That’s why I really don’t get bothered by it at all.
