When it comes to disappointment, England never fails to deliver. Despite a star-studded lineup, under the leadership of the mediocre Gareth Southgate, England's performance in the group stage of this year's European Championship has been very disappointing. The England team, boasting several superstars, has ironically been limited by the abundance of talent.
With England's significant investment in domestic youth training, many talented players have gradually emerged. Stars like Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Rice, and Arnold have all proven their abilities at their respective clubs. However, everyone knows that good players also need a good coach to bring out their best, and England's head coach Southgate clearly lacks that ability. He cannot properly distribute the ball among the players, resulting in everyone playing like headless chickens on the field. In the latest European Championship match, England's offense was powerless, and they ultimately drew 1-1 with Denmark.
England, with many superstars, appears to be a powerful team, but the uneven distribution of ball possession has always been their biggest problem. Whether it's Bellingham, Kane, Foden, or Saka, they either overlap positions or require the ball to perform well. Consequently, no one can play at their best, dragging each other down and appearing disjointed, leading some netizens to joke that "there need to be 10 balls on the field."
Of course, anything is possible in football. Poor performance in the group stage does not necessarily mean the same in the subsequent matches. Considering other teams like Spain and Germany are in very hot form, if England does not find a solution for multiple stars playing together, then as the second favorite before the tournament, England might once again face yet another disappointment. |
