England's head coach, Gareth Southgate, has been facing a barrage of criticism since the start of Euro 2024. Fans and experts are outraged by the Three Lions' uncertain results in the tournament and blame the coach. During the group stage, the English team managed only one win and two draws, securing a spot in the quarter-finals thanks to goals scored in stoppage time and extra time.
In addition to the criticism, Southgate has other problems ahead of today's match against Switzerland. It is expected that the England coach may change the team's formation to a three-defender setup due to Marc Guehi's suspension for accumulating yellow cards.
However, the England camp has been hit by a leak of their match plans. According to the Daily Star, Southgate discovered that his plans for today's match had been revealed to the Swiss. This revelation left the head coach furious, prompting him to call an emergency meeting with all staff members.
Southgate's assistant, Steve Holland, was also upset by the leak. Both coaches insist that such breaches of confidentiality before a crucial match are unacceptable.
It is likely that the Swiss received information from within the English camp, causing concern for Southgate and Holland.
The English team may have to revise their plans just hours before the match to find the optimal tactical setup to surprise and, most importantly, defeat their opponents.
