Sweeping changes are being prepared by Gareth Southgate in the match against Switzerland for the quarter-final stage of the Euro. Not so much in faces, as in formation. The coach of the “lions” is oriented to the line-up with three central defenders and by extension the diversification of the offensive plan.
In Stones-Konsa, since Guehi will be absent due to cards, it is possible to add Walker who has in any case played again as a stopper and his place on the full right side to be taken by Arnold. Possibilities to compete as a starter also have Lewis Dunkexcept in this case the Manchester City defender will retain his position on the right.
The trio in defense will bring changes to the midfield and forward line, once it is selected 3-4-3. Mainu and Rice will be the two defensive midfielders with Bellingham and Foden moving behind Harry Kane and Bucayo Saka to stay out of the lineup.
In doing so, Southgate hopes both to change the image of his team and to counter the speed and unpredictability of the Swiss forwards.
Gareth Southgate is planning to change the team radically. ??
Reports suggest that it is likely Southgate will switch to three centre-backs for England’s Euro 2024 quarter-final clash with Switzerland????
