There was a revealing moment in Gareth Southgate’s Stephen Curry Authentic Jersey company, reflecting on England’s opening week in Russia, when a question was lobbed in about whether Harry Kane had now confirmed his place among a small and exclusive group of elite footballers – a player, in the modern parlance of the sport, who could truly be described as world-class. [Image: nike_bears_1141.jpg]It was the kind of question he could easily have answered with some straightforward platitudes but Southgate paused. He wondered if he could refrain, for now, from using such a term and his explanation offered a little insight into the kind of motivational tactics he is deploying with his leading striker. “I’m going to keep challenging him on that,” he said. Keep challenging him, keep pushing him to get better and avoid saying anything to make it sound as though Kane had already made it. Not yet, anyway. [Image: nike_packers_3249.jpg]A lot of managers do the same when it comes to their top players but in this case it was tempting to wonder whether Southgate’s restraint was necessary. Kane does not seem the kind of player who will ever be satisfied until, in his mind, he can be safely regarded as the most lethal finisher in the business. Players do not get into that position unless they are supremely motivated. Kane has now scored in seven of his past eight England appearances, the first man to do so since Jimmy Greaves in 1960-61. He has 15 goals in 25 caps and, if there is one certainty, it is that he can see himself beating Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Agüero, Diego Costa, Romelu Lukaku and – not forgetting – Lionel Messi to the Golden Boot. Everything we have learned about Kane Howard Wilson Authentic Jersey in the past few years should suggest he is obsessed by the idea. The bigger problem for Southgate http://www.bearsfootballproonline.com/Eddie-Jackson-Jerseyis that England cannot always trust him to take the starring role. What if he is marked out of a game? What if a Tunisian defender had reached Kieran Trippier’s stoppage-time corner first, before Harry Maguire, and the ball had never spun towards Kane for the decisive moment of Monday’s game? Who else in this England team is ready to score the goals? The over-reliance on Kane can seem strange when, between them, Raheem Sterling, Dele Alli and Jesse Lingard scored 61 goals for their Premier League clubs last season. Yet Sterling has not scored for England since October 2015 Jordan Eberle Authentic Jersey and has managed two goals in his 39 caps. They came against Lithuania and http://www.packersauthenticofficials.com/WOMENS-BART-STARR-JERSEY.html Estonia and it is now 984 days since the last one. Southgate has preferred Alli and Lingard to Fabien Delph and Ruben Loftus-Cheek because of the superior number of goals they have set up or created for their clubs. Alli, however, has scored twice in 26 England appearances, the last being against Malta in October 2016. Lingard has one goal in 13 caps and, apart from Kane, there was only one player in England’s starting XI against Tunisia who had scored more than twice for the national team. That was Ashley Young, with seven goals from a 10-year international career, albeit including a long period of exclusion from September 2013 to November 2017. For now Southgate does not seem overly concerned. One of the features of England’s 2-1 win against Tunisia was the frequency with which Alli and Lingard broke into the opposition penalty area. True, England missed more chances than they would wish to remember but there was some bad luck and excellent goalkeeping along the way, too. Overall, the good far outweighed the bad. In Sterling’s case, however, there is no doubt his scoring figures for England are poor, especially now he is operating alongside Kane Zach Brown Authentic Jersey as a central striker. Indeed, for http://www.authenticbuccaneersofficial.com/Nike-Mj-Stewart-Jersey.html a player who attracts so much scrutiny, an argument could easily be made that he had got away lightly when it comes to his productivity for England on the pitch and that, until now, it has largely gone unnoticed.http://cguniverse.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=13899
