LONDON: England captain Harry Kane will wear a rainbow arm to support the LGBTQ community for Euro 2021 Tuesday, the last 16 years against Germany.
This will be the first time Tottenham Kane striker will wear a rainbow arm while playing for England.
Germany Skipper Manuel Neuer has been wearing a rainbow armband in every match that has been played in June to honor the month of Pride.
The goalkeeper first wore a Pelangi Armband against Latvia on June 7 and then for three groups of matches against France, Portugal and Hungary.
UEFA investigates whether it can be seen as a political statement before concluding there will be no disciplinary process, which Neuer is given “promoting good goals”.
The European Football Regulatory Agency caused controversy when they denied requests by Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter for the Allianz Arena to light up in the color of the rainbow when Germany played Hungary in the stage group on Wednesday.
Kane will expect the armband is a lucky charm when he looks to score his first goal from the tournament.
England has scored only twice in three matches and Kane has seen the shadow of the player who finished as the premier league top scorer this season.
Kane was also a Golden boot winner at the 2018 World Cup, but he insisted that he did not care about his unexpected departure.
“I always say a striker, you undergo spells, good spells and sometimes spells that just don’t walk your way,” he said.
“The most important thing for me is that we won the match.
The first goal is to qualify, which we have done.” The second is now trying and reaching the quarter-finals so, do I print (or.
No), the most important thing is we win.
“That’s all I focus on tomorrow night, it’s all a team that focuses on but we finish it.
That’s our main goal, and we will do everything in our strength to pass.”
