European Football Championship - England's Guehi reaffirms: Everyone is behind Southgate
England's Inside Defender Marc Guehi cannot share the current criticism of Gareth Southgate and has explicitly defended the Chief Coach after England's weak performance in the EM Round of 16.
"He is fantastic for England. When you look at his record, that speaks for itself", said Guehi in the Three Lions' training camp in Blankenhain. Once again, there was a debate about Southgate's destructive playing style and his timid approach.
If the EM Second Place of 2021 exits in the Knockout Phase, the exit of the former professional after almost eight years is considered a foregone conclusion. "Everyone stands behind the Trainer and we have a very close-knit group that only focuses on the next task. Everyone values him, especially me", said Guehi, who is a regular starter in the Inner Defense at the ongoing tournament.
The 23-year-old follows Harry Maguire, who was excluded from the squad before the EM due to physical problems. England faces Slovakia in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday (6:00 PM/ZDF and MagentaTV) in the Eighteenth Final.
