Chelsea defender Christensen: Denmark must not try to fight Kane

Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen says Denmark's defence must be at their best against England captain Harry Kane.

Christensen says they'll be ready for the Tottenham striker when they meet in the Euro 2020 semifinals.

He declared, "He has the size to be a target man, and at the same time he has his best qualities with his feet. In my world, he is one of the best finishers in football.

"The same goes for Sterling. He is tremendously fast and can threaten in the backcourt. He also plays on a team that is used to having the ball a lot, which also tells that he has some incredible qualities with the ball.

"So these are two important players from the English attack, which we must of course try to keep track of.

"He (Kane) is incredibly big, the fact that he has so many qualities with his feet also means that you have to be careful not to get too close.

"However, it is about us trying to control him instead of fighting with him."
