Less than an hour now separates theEngland from the inside-out with the Slovakia. The coach of the English, Gareth Southgatedeclared that he “wanted to do well for my country”, as highlighted in the interview granted to the microphones of BBC.
THE Three Lions They finished top of Group C at the European Championships in Germany, but scored only two goals in three games. A sterility in the goal areaas well as for the game played, which has brought Southgate and his players to the gallows of the most ferocious critics and commentators. But a victory in Gelsenkirchen today would be a very strong signal from the English national team and would give life to the quarter-final against Swiss.
Southgate’s words. “It could be another brilliant evening to create more memories for our fans,” she said. “I’ve played in a semi-final of a major tournament and I’ve managed a semi-final and a final. Tomorrow is about moving the team forward. We shouldn’t be afraid of losing, it’s about opportunities. We’re trying to achieve something which is a challenge.” And on heavy defeats suffered in history of the national team, most recently in the final against Italy at the last European Championship at Wembley: “We have already lost matches in the past, life goes on. At that point, when you can handle the worst, you are free to try to go and win the match”.
