England’s Euro 2024 Campaign: Kane Urges In-Form Players to Shine against Serbia

England‘s national team captain, Harry Kane, has rallied his in-form teammates to carry their impressive club performances into Euro 2024 as they gear up to face Serbia in their opening Group C match.

Following strong showings by host nation Spain against Croatia and England’s victory over Scotland in Munich, the spotlight now shifts to England’s clash against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen.

Kane, coming off a prolific season at Bayern Munich where he netted 44 goals in 45 games, emphasized the need for the squad to translate their outstanding club form onto the international stage under manager Gareth Southgate.

The England squad boasts a wealth of attacking talent, with the likes of Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham, and Bukayo Saka also in stellar form, setting the stage for an exciting campaign.

Thousands of fans are expected to travel to Gelsenkirchen to support England, with charity fundraiser ‘Hardest Geezer‘ showcasing his dedication by embarking on a 352-mile run from Wembley Stadium to the Veltins Arena for the match.

With up to 500,000 British supporters projected to attend the tournament, authorities are on high alert, labeling the game as ‘high-risk’ amid reports of Serbian ultras making their presence known.

To ensure fan safety, measures such as selling low-alcohol beverages will be implemented around the stadium, backed by the Foreign Office and FA chief executive Mark Bullingham’s confidence in the fans’ behavior.

Meanwhile, supermarkets are gearing up for a surge in sales as football enthusiasts prepare to enjoy the tournament from home, with Tesco anticipating record numbers in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage purchases during Euro 2024.
