(1:07)DORTMUND, Germany-- In what is fast becoming his customary style, Kobbie Mainoo is threatening without fuss or fanfare to solve a problem that's arguably blighted England for years. Wednesday's Euro 2024 semifinal against Netherlands promises to be the teenager's toughest test yet, but the Three Lions are hoping they have finally found a midfielder capable of dictating play in the biggest matches of all.It's no secret to anyone who's watched them play that manager Gareth Southgate has been searching for a solution to balance England's midfield throughout this tournament. The experiment of using defender Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield against Serbia and Denmark manifestly failed, leading him to throw Conor Gallagher in against Slovenia. When Gallagher floundered, Mainoo got his chance and England haven't looked back.They hardly found a vibrant rhythm since, scrambling past round-of-16 opponents Slovakia in extra time and then Switzerland on penalties in the quarterfinals, but Mainoo has been one of their brightest players and the debate over who should partner Declan Rice in midfield -- one that raged for the Euros' first fortnight -- is conclusively over.One moment against Switzerland summed up the composure and quality Mainoo brings. Midway through the first half of Saturday's quarterfinal, the 19-year-old did something England midfielders simply never do. John Stones played a pass into central midfield towards Mainoo, who rushed back to meet the ball. The pass was actually misplaced, but Mainoo reacted in a flash, adjusting his body to allow the ball to run across him.In that one motion, without even touching the ball, Granit Xhaka and Remo Freuler were taken out of the game as Mainoo slipped between them and England were suddenly playing forward.In watching such highlights, it's easy to forget this is a youngster earning his sixth cap. In fact, Mainoo has only made 35 appearances as a senior professional at Manchester United, where he at least has a good grounding in being the calming presence while the storm rages around him. Yet the comfort he exudes on the international stage has not taken his teammates by surprise.Kobbie Mainoo's first international tournament with England has seen him become an important piece in Gareth Southgate's midfield when called upon. (Photo by Richard Sellers/Sportsphoto/Allstar via Getty Images)Defender and United teammate Luke Shaw told ESPN: "No [I'm not surprised] because he did that at Manchester. He came out of nowhere and took to it with ease."Everyone knows his qualities. It was just about getting him in the team and I think once he was, everyone knew he was going to show his qualities and how important he could be for the team. That's a big pat on his back really to say to him is what he's done is really good. He just needs to keep that level up."Keep up to date with the latest news, results and coverage from Euro 2024: Schedule | Rosters | Predictions (E+) Mainoo only made his full Premier League debut in November after sustaining an ankle injury during a preseason friendly against Real Madrid. His England debut came in March against Brazil but ahead of a huge semifinal in Dortmund, Mainoo is now arguably one of the first names on Southgate's teamsheet."The growth is scary really," said Shaw. "It has been really quick for him. When I first saw Kobbie I think he was in and out of the first team just training but you could see the qualities he had."Then he came away in preseason -- he was unfortunate to get an injury that maybe set him back a bit -- but it didn't stop him. I think his qualities have shown. I don't see him as a young lad anymore: I think he is one of our main players."For me, he has got the world at his feet, he can do everything. He just needs to stay level-headed, keep working hard and the world's his oyster. He can honestly achieve anything."playIs it time to put 'England are bad at penalties' to bed?Steve Nicol says the quality of penalty takers that England have means that they should no longer fear penalty shoot-outs.Against Switzerland, Mainoo won 100% of his tackles, completed 33 out of 34 passes, won four out of his five duels and had England's highest individual xG (0.17).Comparisons are inevitable, and there is a temptation to suggest England have found a midfield metronome capable of putting opponents to the sword in the manner the Three Lions have suffered all too often in the past. While Southgate has been scrambling to balance his midfield in recent weeks, the problem dates back much further.Too often, England's inability to retain the ball in midfield has allowed big tournament games to slip away from them. Marco Verratti and Jorginho swung the Euro 2020 final in Italy's favour as they increasingly controlled the middle of the pitch. England became wasteful and conceded territory as a result, eventually losing on penalties.Luka Modrić, ably supported by Marcelo Brozović, did the same for Croatia in their 2018 World Cup semifinal against Southgate's side, turning the tide after falling behind to win a tense match in extra time. In 2012, it was Italy's Andrea Pirlo pulling the strings as Roy Hodgson's England chased shadows for 120 minutes during their quarterfinal defeat in Kiev before succumbing on penalties. Pirlo was so unflustered all evening that he even scored his spot kick with a Panenka.In the middle of that run, Frenkie de Jong produced another midfield masterclass in the 2019 Nations League semifinal, as Netherlands reminded England of the sort of maturity and game management they habitually lack in their engine room.Two years ago, when discussing Joshua Kimmich's ability to do something similar for Germany (prior to Toni Kroos' return to the fray this year), Southgate claimed: "We don't have that sort of player in this country. I don't think we develop that sort of player well through youth football and through academies. Other countries probably have a little bit more focus on that."Yet various England players seem to feel Mainoo could change that perception. Alexander-Arnold, who lost his place to Mainoo, said: "It's the first time I've seen him up close and personal. He's impressed me a lot. He's someone who can manipulate the ball and help the team get up the pitch."His technique and receiving under pressure is very impressive. So young, but with so much potential. It's an exciting time for England."Rice said: "I do have to say Kobbie has been unbelievable. For 19 years old, how much he runs around and how strong and physical he is, he's been unreal."De Jong's absence due to an ankle injury is a huge blow for Netherlands. They have become a more defensive outfit as a result -- exhibiting the same conservatism for which Southgate has been criticised -- and the 27-year-old watched on from the stands as his countrymen beat Turkey on Saturday to set up the clash with England. Like Southgate, head coach Ronald Koeman has been searching for answers, with Jerdy Schouten and Tijjani Reijnders sitting deep and Xavi Simons further forward against Turkey.Whoever wins that midfield battle will go a long way to determining the team that makes Sunday's final in Berlin. It is another big ask for Mainoo, but so far he's been coming up with the answers. ,Kobbie Mainoo, el joven centrocampista de Inglaterra, deslumbra en la Euro 2024, proporcionando la solución que el equipo ha buscado durante años.](https://losdeportes.mx/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Tue-9-Jul-2024-050759-EST.jpg)

Duelo clave en Euro 2024: Kane vs. Memphis
![Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. BERLIN, Germany -- Harry Kane and Memphis Depay have scored 111 international goals between them and went into Euro 2024 shouldering the goal-scoring burden for England and Netherlands respectively. However, as the two nations prepare to battle it out on Wednesday in Dortmund for a place in the final, they have done so in spite of, rather than because of, their star strikers.Both England and the Dutch have arrived at the semifinal stage without having played to their potential, despite boasting squads stacked with Champions League talent, and the team that wins could be the one that cracks the code of how to get their most consistent goal scorer to deliver.Kane is England's greatest-ever goal scorer, with 65 goals in 96 appearances, while Memphis is second only to former Arsenal and Manchester United forward Robin van Persie (50 in 102) in the all-time list for Netherlands, having registered 46 goals in 97 appearances. But at Euro 2024, it has been a tale of woe for both. While they have found the net -- with Kane netting twice for England (against Denmark and Slovakia) and Memphis scoring vs. Austria -- their individual performances have been so poor that coaches Gareth Southgate and Ronald Koeman must decide whether to back their long-term records or act upon what they seen in Germany.The old maxim that "form is temporary and class is permanent" makes for a neat soundbite, but when the stakes are so high, the here and now might be the most important criteria. "I thought he [Kane] did a super job for the team," Southgate said after Kane registered just 27 touches, without scoring, in the quarterfinal penalty shootout win against Switzerland. "He is perhaps not flowing, as he is arriving in those deeper areas, but he is still playing an immense part for the group."He is leading the team incredibly well. He is such a positive influence around the camp. He is guiding the young players through everything the squad have had to deal with in the early stages of the tournament."Southgate could be accused of damning Kane with faint praise with those comments. Nowhere does he talk about Kane's goal threat, his movement or contribution in the final third of the pitch.Harry Kane has scored for England at Euro 2024, but his contributions have been minimal to this point and if they're serious about winning this tournament, he'll need to step up. Jean Catuffe/Getty ImagesSince the start of Euro 2024, Kane has managed just 23 penalty area touches in 464 minutes. His two goals both came from inside the six-yard box, but Kane's habit of dropping deep to go in search of the ball has meant he's spending too much time outside the areas where he's most needed -- an issue identified by former England forward, and all-time Premier League top scorer, Alan Shearer."When the team is under the cosh, he [Kane] is trying to come back and help out," Shearer told the Rest Is Football podcast. "He did that a few times [against Switzerland] and there was one stage where he ran back 50 or 60 yards to track back. I admire him for that, but other people can do that."If it was me, I'd be saying to him 'just play the width of the 18-yard box.' He's finding it tough. I don't know if there's anything wrong with him, if he is carrying an injury or what, but he is finding it tough to have a big impact on the game."While Shearer stopped short of calling on Southgate to drop Kane, others have been less supportive of the England captain."I think he [Kane] will start, but if I was Ivan Toney or Ollie Watkins, I'd be upset," former England forward Steve McManaman told ESPN. "But he [Southgate] will go for his tried and trusted method because he always has done."Meanwhile, former Arsenal and England forward Ian Wright believes that time is running out on Southgate to be bold with Kane."He [Kane] is not sharp, he's not in the box and now we know Ivan Toney can go to that level and take a penalty," Wright told The Overlap. "We need somebody who is going to be up there, linking and holding and causing problems for their defenders. At some stage, we're going to need to make that decision about what's going on - we can't just wait for that Harry Kane finish. At some stage, we might run out of time in that respect."Memphis Depay has created several chances to score for Netherlands at Euro 2024, but is still looking for his first goal. Can he find form and make a decisive intervention against England? Geert van Erven/Soccrates/Getty ImagesMemphis' problems with Netherlands are different to Kane's with England. Despite his lacklustre performances, Kane has scored two goals from four chances and has an Expected Goals (xG) tally of 2.0 at Euro 2024. His issue is not being in the right place often enough, while Depay has had chances but failed to take them. The 30 year old, now a free agent after his contract at Atlético Madrid expired on June 30, has had 10 chances in Germany and scored just once, markedly under-performing his xG of 1.96.Former Netherlands striker Marco van Basten, the goal-scoring hero of the country's Euro '88 triumph in Germany, believes that Memphis is simply not designed to play the centre-forward role he has been given by Koeman."He works very hard, but he is unlucky," Van Basten said. "You can see this is not best his best position. He is a creative footballer, but not a striker or a goal scorer. I would keep him in the team, though."Keep up to date with the latest news, results and coverage from Euro 2024: Schedule | Rosters | Predictions (E+) Wim van Hanegem, another former Dutch great, has been more critical of Memphis, suggesting he needs to work harder for the team."Koeman already said that he needs the best version of Memphis to get far in this European Championship and he is certainly right," he said. "He just has to chase down the defenders more fanatically, hold on to the ball and give the Dutch a point of contact in the front."Memphis is a divisive character, too. Unlike Kane, who wears the England captain's armband and is regarded as an ultra-reliable team player, Memphis has spent a career with some of Europe's top clubs, including Manchester United and Barcelona, where his attitude has been questioned by managers, teammates and supporters alike.In the Netherlands, a debate has broken out over whether Memphis should be dropped in favour of Wout Weghorst -- a far more limited player, but one with a record of scoring important goals. Weghorst has scored just once so far in this tournament, but the former Man United forward is highly regarded by his teammates."Because of Weghorst, you create a little bit more chaos in the box and they have to defend more, so I think Wout helped a lot," defender Nathan Aké said after the 6-foot-6 striker was introduced as a substitute in the 2-1 quarterfinal win against Turkey. "He's a nightmare to play against. He is strong, is a nuisance in a box and he fights for everything. He runs off everything, so for us he is a great asset."playLaurens: England being carried by 'individual brilliance'Gab Marcotti and Julien Laurens preview England vs. Netherlands in the semifinals of Euro 2024.However, the prospects of Memphis being dropped in favour of Weghorst are slim. Even after Weghorst scored a late winner in the opening group game against Poland, Koeman said that he had been blunt with the 31-year-old by telling him he was most useful coming off the bench. Despite the doubts being voiced about Memphis as the focal point for his team, Koeman believes he remains the best option."Memphis has a lot of value to the team," Koeman said. "He is playing very well. This team utterly needs him and they have to give the ball to him. He has had a lot of injuries and of course he has to play better, that is clear for all of us. But I have good vibes because he is a very good player. You want to help and support the players, but Memphis does not have a lack of confidence. He is sure he can find the net."Confidence has never been an issue for Memphis during his career. After all, he famously turned up for a reserve game at Man United in a Rolls-Royce, and wearing a cowboy hat, after being dropped by coach Louis van Gaal. He is aware of his critics at Euro 2024, but is unlikely to be fazed by them ahead of the England game."I don't think it should be about numbers," he said before the 2-1 win against Turkey. "It's about moments. But I can handle criticism well, I'm used to it."One of Kane or Memphis will walk out at Berlin's Olympiastadion on Sunday, one game away from becoming a European champion, and the reason why might just be down to them. They both have the pedigree and ability to score the goals that take their country to the Euro 2024 final, but the tournament is waiting for them to turn up.If one of them can do that in Dortmund on Wednesday, everything that has gone before at Euro 2024 will be forgotten. For the one who misses out, it will be a tournament full of regret and what might-have-been. ,Harry Kane y Memphis Depay han marcado 111 goles internacionales juntos en la Euro 2024, siendo clave para Inglaterra y Países Bajos, respectivamente.](https://losdeportes.mx/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Tue-9-Jul-2024-045858-EST.jpg)
