L’England qualified for the round of 16 of the European Championships, amidst controversy and criticism directed at coach Southgate and the team itself. Little support, but maximum result, because after all for the Three Lions the adventure will continue Euro 2024. In the meantime John Stonescentral defender of the English national team, at the end of the match against Denmark after a poor 0-0, analyzed the glass as half full of the result.
The comment. “The substitutes had a big impact today (yesterday, ed.), credit to them,” Stones told the Federation’s official channels. “It’s not easy to come to an away match and not have the playing time they would like, and to come here with the attitude they have in training. There’s a great spirit that surrounds us, and above all Cole (Palmer, ed.) has created some great opportunities for us. He had one at the end and I’m sure he will be frustrated that he didn’t do better,” he added.
To discover England’s opponent on Sunday, however, we will have to wait a few more moments: “I feel that we have taken a step in the right direction. It is not the result we wanted, but I am very happy to have finished at the top of the group. We won the group and I am convinced that we have to beat anyone comes in front of us. Regardless of who we play against, we have to believe in it and continue to move forward. We have to take a step forward when needed and I’m sure we will work hard on this aspect this week in training and waiting for the next stage.”
