England legend Wayne Rooney has expressed his confidence in Harry Kane's abilities to dominate Argentina's centre-backs in tonight's World Cup semi-final.
Speaking ahead of the big game, Rooney emphasized that Kane's intelligent movement and timing could be the key to unlocking the Argentine defence, which features the experienced duo of Lisandro Martinez and Cristian Romero.
"If Harry Kane is on it, they won’t be able to deal with Harry Kane," Rooney said. "Because Harry’s a nightmare for that type of defender."
Rooney believes that Kane's ability to drag the centre-backs into positions where they feel exposed could be crucial in determining the outcome of the game. He emphasized that the timing of the pass and the timing of the run in behind the defenders would be crucial in unlocking the Argentine defence.
