Euro 2024 in Germany: the British signed another draw in Cologne

He didn’t have to win Englandwho didn’t even bother him that much goalless draw with Sloveniabecause he confirmed his first place in Group C almost no surprises, the whole game is under his control, almost by inertia, but in one the distance is still inappropriate from the level that awakens the names of its players and his supposed status as a favorite being increasingly questioned with each passing match that took place this Tuesday at the stadium RheinEnergie Stadium in Cologne.

The best position is the first position, which during the day acquired an even more unexpected scope. This not only provided more affordable pairing in 1/8 finals, but placed it at the bottom of the picture. On the other hand, they were already on their way Spain, Germany and Portugal in advance. He joined them France. England avoid them all until the final. as long as he is able to overcome the milestones while improving his performance.

If you get this… Because he is still far from the expected team. Neither in systematic and attractive repetition South Gate impressive offensive front formed Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane headlines for the third day in a row, nor in the change he made in the middle, Gallagher Alexander-Arnold, He also didn’t find everything he was looking for. I’m not running away from the disappointment that still haunts him.

In the 25th minute, for example, their possession was a telling 73 percent, but they had no shots inside or outside except for a goal disallowed for an obvious offside. To the middle, with a center shot Kane at the hands of Cloud, the result of a personal decision rather than a collective game, launched for the first time. a lack of Foden, in ’34 it was the second. Nothing more. Too few for the collection of stars at your service.

Slovenia didn’t even flinch. In his rhythm, time was on his side. The draw was a pleasant result, which brought him into the second round, throughout its history in the great competition, whatever the score in the other match between Serbia and Denmark. It was his mattress. A condition that allowed him to control the risks of certain sporadic attacks, such as the center The picker who stumped Pickford.

Unprecedented in the first two meetings, suddenly, Southgate turns to Cole Palmeryoung phenomenon Manchester who subscribed to it Chelsea a year ago and This season he scored 25 goals. But above all, there is something special about him when he receives the ball between the lines, when he passes, when he sees space… It is amazing that he has not yet played a single minute in this Eurocup, with his performance during the course . He gave a head start in the 71st minute. with some excess, with some detail, with something more.

After more than four hours of competition, the manager called him and brought him onto the field to look for a reaction, in a soothing rhythm that sees England’s frustrations shift from side to side. Seems like a team without a soul having no choice but to try, although almost everything ends in absolutely nothing, in many cases he moves into irrelevant areas, by no means with zero ambition. Palmer’s only blow was too weak.

Before the salvo Declan Rice This dispelled the British drowsiness for a few moments. It was outside. But it was something. At the very disappointing levels at which the current European vice-champion is moving, the shot illuminates a completely bleak panorama, although she still remains unbeaten, is first in the group and can see the horizon with the calm of not even seeing Neither France, nor Spain, nor Germany, nor Portugal are on the way. Until the final; impossible to stop at this level.
