Swedes on a mission to keep Kane quiet
SWEDEN know they must stop Harry Kane to win today.
Their captain Andreas Granqvist said: “He’s incredibly skilled, not just at penalties, but as a striker.
“He’s good at everything and it’s going to be a very tough match against him. But we’re going to do everything to stop him.”
Central defender Granqvist insisted the Swedes have worked on nullifying England talisman Kane (above) and his team-mates at set-pieces – and hope to provide their own threat.
Granqvist added: “We do the job 100 per cent and we dare to have our own attacking style.
“This is why we’ve won most of our games. At the set-pieces, we’ve been very strong.
“This is one of England’s strengths as well. But we know they have Kane, who can be really dangerous in the penalty box.
“And we’ve given opponents sometimes the opportunity to cross balls from the sides.
“So we need to be very strong in the box and try to make sure that they don’t get the service that they need.”
