“We are miles away from becoming potential European champions”, launches The Sun, which does not hide its disappointment with the technical choices of the British coach
If Italy football is mulling over the collapse of the national team against Spain, England is worried about the disappointing performance shown by Gareth Soutgate’s team against Denmark, and the manager is once again heavily discussed in the British media. The Sun strikes the blow immediately, according to which “England seem miles away from becoming potential European champions“.
The most popular tabloid in the United Kingdom writes about a team in the midst of an identity crisis”, while for the authoritative Guardian “the national team has reached a new low with a disastrous performance, too bad to be true”. The Telegraph even expresses relief, claiming that the national team “fortunately escaped with a draw after a performance that at times bordered on chaos“.
The Daily Mail invites the English coach to “change his plans if the Three Lions lack confidence and cohesion against Denmark. The BBC in turn points the finger at “Southgate’s strategy of deploying Trent Alexander-Arnold in central midfield is certainly over, but the player – he writes – it must not be used as a fig leaf to cover up the malaise that has affected England since the first goal in their debut match, against Serbia“.
