The English are desperate, the coach defends himself: 'The players are worried, but we know what we have to do for Serbia'

He first shocked the public when he entered the list of passengers Euro 2024. did not include Jacek Grealisha,somewhat less English fans were hit by the absence Harry Maguire,and then it’s his England lost 1-0 at Wembley Iceland. Gareth Southgate is under attack from the English public, but the coach of ‘Gordi Albion’ assures that everything will be fine and that there is no reason to panic.

– It is clear that the performance was not at the level it should have been. I think there are some very clear reasons for that and it actually gives us a chance to really focus because these last games before the tournament can disrupt that. The players are worried about the selection and they don’t want to get injured – said the English coach.

– This was far from an ideal night. I will not hide my disappointment with this performance. I was most disappointed by the part of the game without possession, because we did not press the opponent well. We were stretched too thin. In the last two or three games we’ve been excellent at that, so that’s the part we really need to get right. We could have been better with the ball, but we still created very, very good chances – analyzed Southgate.

The first obstacle at the Euro – Serbia

– Also, we have to remain calm because we know what we need to correct and we will work on that from now until the match with Serbia – said the English coach, and our team’s first appearance at the Euros will be on June 16 in Gelsenkirchen.

In addition to Serbia, the English will also play against Denmark (June 20) and Slovenia (June 25) in Group C.
