Southgate: ‘I’m the right person to lead England to the World Cup’
Gareth Southgate said he was confident he was the right person to lead England to the World Cup and was confident the team would show a “different face” in Qatar.
On Friday (September 23) England failed to win their first group win in the Nations League against Italy (1-0). In his statements or Gareth Southgate argued that he is the right person to lead the team to the World Cup.
At the same time, he expressed his belief that the image of the “three lions” in Qatar would be different.
“Look, I think the climate is the way it is at the moment and I have to accept it. I think I’m the right person to lead the team to the World Cup. This is without a doubt the most stable solution at the moment.
I don’t think the performance against Italy was bad and I know we get criticized just because we have a losing streak.
But I have to separate the summer and the summer conditions from this race.” He first said and then replied when asked if he remains confident that England will be different at the World Cup: “Yes, without a doubt.
We’re playing against some high quality teams and we’ll be better. And especially the younger players who participated in these games will have learned a lot from them.
Now we know the level, now we know what we need to improve on and we’ll be in a better position if we have the quality of the games we’ve played.”
