July 9th, the European Championship semi-finals are about to unfold, England will face the Netherlands. Ahead of the big battle, former Germany international Mertesacker praised England, believing that the Three Lions have all the qualities needed to win the championship.
Mertesacker first talked about England’s resilience: “It seems everyone is worried about England’s prospects, but they’ve overcome all the critical moments so far. In England’s match against Slovakia, Bellingham’s last-minute bicycle kick dragged the match into extra time. In England’s match against Switzerland, Saka again equalized with a brilliant volley when the team was behind. England may have been mediocre for a long time, but they always turn things around at crucial moments.”
Mertesacker then talked about England’s other strengths: “After the tragedy of losing the 2021 final, England’s players have accumulated enough experience. Today’s England team is exceptionally united, and Southgate’s trust in his players at crucial moments also impresses me.”
