Southgate has responded to criticism of the England national team

After an unimpressive performance at the group stage of the European Championship, fans began to mercilessly criticise head coach Gareth Southgate for his boring style of play. The specialist himself also took the hit.

Asked if he would prefer the criticism to be directed at him, he said:

"100 per cent. That's my job. I have to keep the players energised. I have to help the players as much as I can because we have put the joy back into playing for England and we have to be very careful about where we go."

Southgate also revealed whether he had any regrets:

"No, I don't regret anything. But we need everyone to support the team," - quotes the manager of the England national team website breakingnews.ie.

It is worth recalling that there is a possibility that Southgate will leave the camp of the "Three Lions" after the end of the European Championship, and we informed about who could become his successor.
