At 00:00 on July 1st, England will face Slovakia in the round of 16 of the European Championship. Before the game, former national team player Fan Zhiyi expressed his support for Southgate when he appeared on a show.
Fan Zhiyi said: “Actually, the simplest truth is, when 11 players are playing on the field, tell me, is the coach useful? The coach is actually playing a role in organizing.”
Everyone needs to understand this England team, because the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Look at this England team now, when Southgate first took over, why did you all say he was good? Because he combined this England team well. They were runners-up in the European Championship and reached the semi-finals of the World Cup. This team has taken shape, and you can see the tactics. At that time, Grealish, Saka were on the left and right, Foden was still a substitute, Bellingham wasn’t there yet. There was Kane, Sterling, and so on.
Many times I feel that, from our own perspective, this team is currently in its most difficult period. This difficulty is often not something the players or the coaches want to create. It’s the psychological effect that has accumulated throughout the games, and it’s preventing them from playing to their full potential in the game.
