This is in the hopes of reaching their first major final since 1966 World Cup.Hareide believes Kane might be the difference between these two sides.He said, "Harry Kane looks like Cristiano Ronaldo." He said, "Give him the chance and he will score. That's why he's so dangerous."Hareide led the Danes to Euro 2020 qualification but his contract was up and Kasper Hjulmand, who was delayed a year due to the pandemic, took over.Kane did not score in the group stage, but he has scored three goals in knockout matches against Germany and Ukraine.Hareide spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live and said that he had never doubted Kane’s goal scoring form.He said, "He drifts around and will go out of the game. But suddenly one pass from either Raheem Sterling or Jadon Sancho or Jack Grealish and he scores."After a 1-0 loss to Belgium in the previous 16, Ronaldo, a five time Ballon d'Or winner, was eliminated from the Euros with Portugal.The Danes suffered a cardiac arrest when Christian Eriksen was playing in their first match. They lost their second and third games, but placed second in their group. Their wins over Wales (and the Czech Republic) have brought them to the semi-finals.Hareide is positive that Denmark's team spirit, solid defense and strong play will be a threat to England’s last chances.He said, "Officially, England are favourites, but Denmark has both the skill and passion to go all-the way,"Hareide praised Denmark’s centre-back trio of Andreas Christensen from Chelsea, Jannik Vestergaard from Southampton and Simon Kjaer (AC Milan)"[They] are likely to be among the three most skilled centre-halves Europe has to offer. The wingbacks are quick and strong, and they also play for large clubs throughout Europe."Kane says, "I am ready for the next opportunity."Kane told 5 Live that he didn't listen to criticisms of his scoreless run.He said, "When you play three to four games without scoring, it's time to score and get over that." "I don't let it affect me at all when I am in a major tournament. I believe in myself and my team so that it doesn't get heightened.""I feel ready for the next opportunity, regardless of whether I score or not.""We will probably enter this game as favourites, but it won't always be easy. We are familiar with Denmark and the potential they bring.
