At the end of the match that ended 1-1 between Denmark and England, the English coach expressed himself: Gareth Southgate.
“Clearly it didn’t go as well as we hoped. At the moment we are not exploiting our possession well enough and there is another level that we need to find. We need to press our opponents better than we have done in these two games. At the moment we are not playing as we would like.
Alexander-Arnold? He had some moments where he delivered what we expected, unfortunately we don’t have a natural replacement for Kalvin Phillips. Kane’s replacement? We needed new energy, we played two games in a few days. We needed fresh forces. Harry has only played 90 minutes in the last month, so that’s the decision we’ve made.
There is a huge amount of work to be done. We understand that people were disappointed with these performances and rightly so. We have to do better.”
