Britain's HITC reported on the 10th (Korea time) that `I think O'Hara Kane is now Cristiano Ronaldo of England.'
England's national team, led by head coach Gareth Southgate, is set to play in the semi-finals of Euro 2024 against the Netherlands at BVB Stadion Dortmund in Dortmund, Germany on the 11th.
The English national team has been selected as the most likely candidate for Euro 2024. However, things have changed since the opening. As the frustrating performance continued from the group stage to the last eight, the question of whether England could really win grew.

However, criticism of the main striker Harry Kane ahead of the semifinal match is unusual. Kane started all five of England's matches this tournament and scored two goals. In particular, the goal against Slovakia was a come-from-behind goal that led the team to the quarterfinals. However, it is hard to say that his performance is the image of the best goal scorer in Europe. He continued to show isolation between defenses, and there was no power in front of the gate.
Kane's slump continued, leading to criticism. Tottenham senior O'Hara criticized Kane by comparing him to Ronaldo, who suffered the worst slump in Euro 2024.

Then "He's Kane. But we are in the same situation as Ronaldo. "Right now, he is not the best striker in Europe. England is in a dilemma like Portugal, which has continued to use Ronaldo at the forefront."
The comparative criticism of Kane and Ronaldo has already been highlighted by the global sports media The Athletic. The Athletic said 'Is Kane now England's Ronaldo? The question has been a compliment for the past few years, but in 2024 it's more of a criticism. Now, the question is that Kane remains in the team only with his reputation, and that his manager lacks the courage to make difficult decisions,' he said, criticizing Kane.
Kane, who has rarely used his strength on the tournament stage and has been unable to erase the nicknames of 'New Chest' and 'Curse of Nothing', has once again reached the stage of proof. If England fail to play against the Netherlands and England are eliminated, it is difficult for Kane, the captain and ace, to avoid responsibility.
