Southgate deserves to be Conservative Party leader

England beat Switzerland on penalties… to reach Euro 2024 semi-finals. It seems like a miracle, but history has repeated itself once again. Forced extra time in the 1/8 finals against Slovakia in the match first shot on goal (Bellingham, 95th minute) and again went into extra time in the quarter-finals with the first shot between the sticks (Saka, 80th minute). Call it a flower, call it what you want, but here they are.

“No risk, no glory”

Southgate is having a tough time. Until he sees the “wolf ears”, he will not leave the “conservative party”He may become a candidate in the next elections. Having lost almost everything, he finally decided to take a risk. He made a triple substitution to suddenly create an attack consisting of Kane, Palmer, Foden, Eze, Bellingham and Saka.. What artillery! That’s how the score 1:1 and the moments appeared, possibly England’s biggest upset of the entire tournamentBy the way, Palmer should now be in the starting lineup. In England the pace is changing. Perhaps Southgate’s solution is to move Bellingham into a double pivot to add another attacking player. Conservative or not, in the end Southgate is like a bank: he (almost) always wins.

He is one of the most underrated defenders in the world.

Manuel Akanji does not have the fame of Ruben Dias or John Stones.. Not from Josko Guardiola. He doesn’t even have Nathan Ake’s “flow”. They are all his teammates at Manchester City. And yet he is not usually among the best in the Premier League. The former Borussia Dortmund player is one of the most underrated defenders on the football planet.In Switzerland, playing in the center of defense, He is a real “Kaiser”. Imperial with and without the ball. He reached into Kane’s pocket and didn’t let him move. Bayern’s No. 9 was so crazy that he ended up getting a yellow card for an elbow on Akanji, which earned him a yellow card in the 67th minute. Interestingly, Akanji ended Kane’s match. He ran into him in the 109th minute and ended up colliding with Southgate on the bench. Tony immediately took his place. It’s a shame he missed the penalty. The only blemish on an otherwise spectacular match.

Centurion Southgate

England national team coach He has made 100 appearances for the Three Lions since his arrival in 2016. Only Alf Ramsey (110) and Winterbottom (120) have led more. It’s not the game but the numbers that prove it. He has 60 wins, 25 draws and 16 losses.. He also helped England finish fourth at the 2018 World Cup, reach the final of Euro 2020, the quarter-finals of Qatar 2022… and, so far, the semi-finals of Euro 2024.

Saka vs. Jaka

One of those duels that gives us journalists so much pleasure. Both were teammates at Arsenal and this time they faced each other with a place in the quarter-finals at stake. Both were good in their own way. Saka especially. He was England’s biggest threat: he drove Aebischer crazy.. Xhaka, despite the game, is touched, It didn’t wrinkle. He asked for the ball again and again, put his foot down, accelerated and paused the game… On his line, off we go. Xhaka also got, it must be said, an elbow from Saka. In the 1:1 score, they were both the main heroes. Saka went inside, Jaka went out to cover himself… but he didn’t have time. A great way for Bukayo to make his Euro goalscoring debut. England eliminated…

England ‘forgets’ to shoot

The Three Lions have good players and dominate possession, but creating dangerous moments costs them dearly, regardless of whether they play with three or four defenders. In the round of 16 against Slovakia, it took them 95 minutes to get their first shot on goal.. I don’t need to remind you how it all ended: Bellingham’s bicycle kick sent the game into extra time. History repeated itself against Switzerland. The first strike between the three sticks didn’t come until the 80th minute. Do you know how it ended? I’m sure you guessed it. Yes, with a goal from Bukayo Saka to make the score 1-1.

Konsa, what a “premiere”

Gaia’s Penalty for Accumulating Warnings He opened the doors to eleven Ezri Conse.. The Aston Villa centre-back was brilliant on his debut in a major tournament, keeping an eye on everything and being an (almost) impenetrable wall. Southgate sent him off in the 78th minute in pursuit of a comeback. At that point, he was the player with the most clearances (8) and the most shots blocked (3).
