January 27 News England coach Southgate accepted an interview with the BBC today and talked about
self-doubt.
When Southgate talked about his stay as England coach, he said: “If my effect in the team is negative, then I will not stay in the team. Is it right to continue discussing this project? I want
Make sure you’re fresh and hungry for a challenge. The team is still making progress and we’re all gaining faith in what we’re doing.”
Before the World Cup, Hungary defeated England in the UEFA Europa League, and the latter was subsequently relegated to Group B. Southgate said: “I am worried that in the subsequent games, the players will be affected by the voice of the coach.
We were a bit anxious in September. Wembley against Germany, the fans were not on the opposite side of the team, but they were looking forward to what the team would do. I was there to make the team feel constrained, manager
The last thing you want is for your team to play badly when you’re on the sideline.”
“I know I need to support the players and the FA, they can decide England. My only concern is that my position and what the fans want may not be in line with it, and it will affect the team. For the World Cup, I am
Deliberate. I think we have a lot of support, but I’m also deliberate, how will things play out after that? You need to give yourself time to consider these situations and then make the best decision. It’s easy when the emotions are high
Make some rash decisions and usually you need to get some sleep to come to the right conclusions.”
“For me, the question is: ‘Is it right to keep pushing?’ because it’s not just the six years I’ve been leading England’s senior team, it’s the 10 years I’ve been here. So I want to make sure I’m up to the challenge and
Freshness and hunger. Is it giving the team the best chance at the World Cup? Do we need to get rid of the rumors, get the team behind and stop talking about the manager? But I think we’ve been through that
It’s over.”
Asked if his belief in coaching had waned, Southgate said: “Not after the World Cup, it’s a bit different, I’m not sure how things are going to go, I think the national team manager needs to be judged from the tournament.
…We played well, against France we were fluid and deserved to win. But football is not big and nuances can make a difference and we need to make sure we catch those little Wests.
We are one small step away from having the belief to win and I see the improvement in the performance of the team in the European Cup.”
“We all want to break through, our opponents are all at a high level, I feel all are very competitive. Apart from the French game, you can also talk about Croatia. In terms of finishing ability, we may compete with other teams.
There is continuity as well. I think people are enjoying the game with us. We are talking about the future of England at the moment, for the next Championship, but of course we have more goals than that.”
When talking about the World Cup loss to France, Southgate said: “It is very difficult to leave at this time. You know that you have to take action for the next championship. But I don’t think that as a coach, you make decisions that let everyone
Satisfied, because it is impossible for everyone to support you. The decision to replace Rashford in the 85th minute I am not a defender. The lesson I learned from the managerial position is that whenever the result is not right, there is always a solution that you have not found.
. Because no one knows what’s going to happen. So I’m relaxed, I think we have a good lineup, and the impact of different players at different times always brings people to the discussion.”
“If we’re not playing at their level, I think it’s legitimate to have a discussion about their performance. We’ve all gained belief in what we’re doing. Now it’s tough competition no matter who the opponent is, against France
In the game, we proved that we can dominate the ball against a strong team.”
“For me, if I focus on football, then life is more straightforward. You are very careful about the impact of your words, on the international stage you need to represent your own country. So there is a possibility that our country will be in a certain situation.
Impressing people with these things, but when you go to other places and communicate with people, you need to be an ambassador. So it’s complicated on the international stage, but coaching the national team is also the most important thing in my life
, I take this honor very seriously. It brought me life experiences that I never expected.”
When talking about the upcoming two friendlies in March, Southgate said: “Many teams have young English players, and many of them play an important role in the team. So you can see young players making progress.
To break through, it’s great, we have a lot of players who are doing well and then it’s been interesting to watch them because it’s the first time they’ve come back straight to the club after a big game for the national team.”
“The next few weeks will be important for our observations, so there will be more non-main players brought in. But then, we will be looking at March, which is very important for the players who are in form.
Very important, they may help us win the crucial game in Naples and the next game against Ukraine.”
