Well, that's what we have seen so far from the performance of the England national team. they have all the star players in their squad but they tend to play mediocre like a team that lacks star players. but in the match against the Netherlands we saw them play quite well. Even though at the start of the match England actually played quite badly. But after trailing by 1 goal, the English squad was triggered to play more aggressively and it turned out that it suited their style of play. It could be said that England has a high level of luck. Because even though they play with a performance that is not very good, they always win dramatically at the end of the match. In the match against the Netherlands, we also saw a dramatic victory when they managed to get the second goal at the end of the match.
Even though it is not yet optimal, England's performance is starting to show improvement and we can see it in this match. Southgate has to be really clever in arranging the starting XI as well as when rotating players. Qualifying for the final round was a success achieved by Southgate and he was able to repeat it again like Euro 2020. However, even though it is inhabited by many great players, Southgate must be able to control them, Spain's opponent is certainly not easy but England's hopes of winning the trophy are still very wide open. , I am increasingly optimistic about their chances.
Here, many of us underestimated Southgate before. But somehow the strategy he created was successful in bringing the English national team to the final. Maybe this can be achieved because this squad is filled with quality players. So Southgate can have strategic options that he uses for this squad. At the start of the Euro we saw England really bad. But yeah, with every game they continue to improve. And maybe this is one of the English national team's strategies to play less flashy and not attract too much attention. So the opposing team underestimated them and in the end England won. And so far many doubted England but now we can see them standing in the final round. This squad is quite good at creating a fairly relaxed game strategy that makes opponents lose their patience a little. Meanwhile, the English squad played very patiently. They were not in a hurry to make an attack but they waited for the right moment. But against Spain it will be difficult for England. Because Spain will immediately create many opportunities. England cannot play casually when facing Spain. because Spain will make the game move quite quickly.
