Statements ahead of the grand final of Euro 2024 between England and Spain (24/7, 22:00), did o Gareth Southgate.
The coach of the “three lions” emphasized that his team will have made a very beautiful story in case they win the coveted trophy, while he made it clear that he wants his players to present themselves fearlessly in the big one that will be held at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
What the coach of the England national team said in detail:
“I don’t believe in fairy tales, but I do believe in dreams. We have big dreams and that is very important. But beyond that, a lot more is needed to reach success. Fate, the goals we scored in the last minutes, the penalties, all these do not mean that our moment has come. We have to perform and make it to the final. It will be a great story if we manage to win. It is in our hands and the most important thing is to present ourselves worthy of the occasion.
The difficult times I have experienced in football have taught me that things change very quickly. The distance from victory to defeat is very small. To have represented my country both as a player and as a coach is the greatest privilege I could have.
I’m not afraid of what might happen in the final because I’ve experienced everything. I want my footballers to be fearless too. If they are not afraid of losing, we will have a better chance of winning.
Since the day I took over, we have tried to change our mindset and be more honest about where we are as a footballing nation. We have had great nights and broken many records. We need to win the trophy to feel that the whole football world respects us”.
