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.
I was support England as my favourite team since the beginning of this tournament but i didn't like how Southgate picked the players for the tournament because in my opinion he didn't bring some players who in form with their clubs such as Henderson or Jack Grealish and even Southgate putting some players who didn't performing well with their clubs such as Ivan Toney and some of young players and when playing at group stages England performance is not really impressive because on that stages England only able to scores 2 goals which makes me doubt they can go further more but indeed since entering knockout phase England performance is gradually better
Yesterday England has been proven their champion mentality by beating Netherlands and with 2 times in a row entering the final match i think it's time for England to gets the trophy from this tournament but indeed it's hard because their opponent is Spain who can be considered as the most consistent team in this tournament and if we see from Spain performance since group stages obviously they are much better than England even for betting options the bookmakers give Spain status as the favourite but although it's hard but i still confident England can beat Spain
