In Düsseldorf, in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024, Kane’s England faces Xhaka’s Switzerland this Saturday, July 6.
Disappointing since the start of Euro 2024, England is still on track, at the quarter-final stage, thanks to the miracle success hung against Slovakia (1-2). Since then, lightning has struck the Three Lions with a scapegoat in mind: Gareth SouthgateThe England coach, who led his troops to the last Euro final, which they lost to Italy on penalties, is accused of not having found the right formula despite a golden generation symbolised by Real Madrid’s new star player Jude Bellingham.
In a press conference before the England-Switzerland clash, the players rushed to the Watford native’s aid: “I feel sorry for him,” began Phil Foden. “In training, he tells us to press and play high up the pitch. Sometimes, it has to come from the players. We have to be leaders and I feel that during the matches, we could have been more together and found solutions. The players have to take some responsibility. There have to be leaders to come together. The coach can’t do everything. He creates a system and tells us how to press. You never know when a player is going to play deep. The players have to adapt to what the other team is offering to be better. I hope you see a different side of us.”
It will be necessary because, on the other side, the Nati showed an attractive face in this Euro 2024 with the historic victory against Italy as a highlight. In front of the media, Murat Yakin was confident: “We have to focus on all the players because they can make the difference in big tournaments. It’s my job to focus on how we’re going to play this match. We played against Germany, we were good. We played against Italy, who are also a great team. And why couldn’t we beat England? We’re in good shape at the moment. We’ll see, it’s a good challenge and my team is ready to fight against the great England.”
