Gareth Southgate was responsible for England’s 4-0 defeat to Hungary in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday night and called on fans to support the team.

The Three Lions were just 16 minutes behind when the attempt was made after a poor attempt. The host offered little risk to even the scores with a dutiful and lethargic display, but Roland Sarai outplayed Aaron Ramsdale.

Hungary deserved to double their lead in the 70th minute through Sarai, who scored just four goals in the Bundesliga last season before the flooding began as England struggled to stay consistent. ..

Due to a weak defense, the ball bounced off Zolt Nagy. ZoltNagy fired a powerful, powerful shot from the penalty spot before John Stones was sent off with an incredibly soft second yellow card.

England’s puzzles didn’t end there, but Daniel Gazdag put the ball behind Ramsdale in the 89th minute, causing the Three Lions’ worst ever home defeat after losing 5-1 to Scotland in 1928…

England are currently close to 7 hours without a goalless draw, unable to win the last four games (worst series since Roy Hodgson), but risk relegation after scoring just two points in the Nations League. ..

Fans flocked to England from off the pitch and said, “I don’t know what you’re doing,” but Southgate stood by his player and was the right person to lead the World Cup for England. ..

He told Channel 4. “I understand the reaction in the stadium. I think the players in this group were great for the country. It’s important that the people are with them as they are still very strong as they go forward…

Asked if he understood the reaction in the stadium, Southgate continued:

“Tonight is a night experienced by many of my predecessors and it’s hard to stay there. I’m not saying it’s harmless, but what we were trying to do with these four games is very ironic, the two Nations League campaigns were accumulating Negatives and Pressure. You and I normally don’t have it as an England manager.

“I have to keep it, my job is to protect the players, they stood out in their attitude and the result is my responsibility.”

Captain Harry Kane gave a blunt answer when asked if he still trusted Southgate going into the World Cup. To be honest, this is not the question I have to answer.

Southgate explains why England fought Hungary in this way, stating: This is my responsibility.

“I felt like I had to go into the game at half time, so I made some changes to give myself a little more incentive to attack, but then it became a little more open and I finally won. There were a lot of people on the pitch that I left open.

“I just talked to the player there [in the dressing room] It was the responsibility of all four games to see and balance new players and try to rest players who couldn’t win, but in the end, the team they chose wasn’t strong enough to produce results. Hungary in two games.

“The other two performances [against Germany and Italy] It was more positive than I expected, but I think tonight is a cruel experience.
