The teenager has already repaid his manager’s faith and has shown he can run the midfield in an astounding way after the first game, similar to what he does at German side Borussia Dortmund. Bukayo Saka on the other hand scored a brace in England’s opener against Iran. The Arsenal starlet missed a penalty in the Euro final which contributed to England’s loss but has brushed off the past and has shown he is deserving of a starting spot in the England squad. These young players teaming up with some of Southgate’s older and more experienced choices give the squad a great spread of experience, creativity and desire and will allow the three lions to progress.
Finally, Gareth Southgate will play a massive part in the tournament, Southgate has been the England manager since 2016 and has established a good relationship with the players. The players are all happy playing for Southgate and having played under him for so long, they seem to ease into the system without issue and play as though they have been playing together regularly at a club level. Having this string if a relationship with the players is ultimately going to have a great impact on the team’s overall performance as the players have faith in the manager and are going to believe in the system that has already got them so close to European glory twice before.
