On July 6, according to the Daily Star, England’s three-center-back tactics were leaked to the media, causing anger from England manager Gareth Southgate, who also held an emergency meeting over the leak.
In this European Championship, England’s performance has been stumbling, with only 1 win and 2 draws in the group stage, accumulating 5 points, but still luckily winning the group. Then in the round of 16, England, facing Slovakia, was on the verge of elimination, but with Bellingham’s overhead kick equalizer and Kane’s header in extra time, they narrowly advanced to the quarter-finals.
Before the European Championship quarter-final against Switzerland, news came out that Southgate would change to a three-center-back formation in this match. Upon learning about the leak, Southgate and his assistant Steve Holland were both furious, believing that such team secrets should not be publicized and learned by opponents.
It is understood that Southgate will also hold an emergency meeting with the England team to find out who leaked the tactical secrets of the England team.
