When Donaluma blocked Saka's penalty this morning to help Italian team lock Delaunay Cup , England coach Southgate on the sidelines lowered his head helplessly. This scene looked very similar to Solskjaer who lost the penalty 25 years ago, lowered his head and walked back to the center line. Behind him was Muller and the Germans celebrating victory... The three Lions of that year lost to his fragile psychological quality in the semi-finals. In this final this morning, the distance between the young Englishman and the top Europe was still the "champion heart".

lack of experience in winning championship
0 Open the coaching experience of both sides' coaches. The biggest gap is not appearance and age, but the honor book. Compared with Mancini , which has won top events such as Premier League , Serie A , Southgate has only won the Toulon Cup once. In other words, the coaching staff of England, even though they hold the best lineup in decades, lack experience in competitions from coaches to players, which is a fatal injury.
Since the pre-match preparation, Southgate's life goal has gradually been exposed. At the press conference, he proactively stated that the injury situation of Fuden is unknown and said bluntly that the team needs to perform better. Before regular competitions, there will be no problem with such a statement, but when facing the final of the Intercontinental Competition, "subtraction" can often achieve better results. On the other hand, he is calm and discusses the venue and weather conditions, and then gives the players a few words of praise, Mancini, who is an old world.

walked onto the arena, and Solskjaer's nature as a rookie in winning championships was exposed again. After Luke Shaw scored an early goal, the coach of the England still looked worried. Such an expression conveyed a lot of negative energy to the players. After the Italian adjusted his lineup in the second half, the coaching staff of the Three Lions were a little confused in the big scene. He did not achieve the expected results after several substitutions, and the players' mentality was also unbalanced. In the penalty shootout, the Rashford and Sancho who were on the court at the last moment were the best proof. No wonder former Dutch international Van der Fate said bluntly, "England's lineup is stronger than Italy, but the coach who coaches them is a coach who lacks experience in winning the championship. His choice and decision are regrettable."

power change pressure
This is the youngest England team in the past 20 years. Young represents motivation. It is precisely because of the almost invincible performance in Wembley that fans are full of confidence in the team's championship. But the motivation that should have brought about at home has become pressure through the repeated mistakes of the Three Lions players.
This morning at Wembley, Prince William is here, Beckham is here, and Tom Cruise is here, perhaps besides Italy and Scotland fans, the whole world is looking forward to the moment when England team wins the Delaunay Cup for the first time, but this situation has made those young people think more. The laughter of warm-up before the first few games was replaced by serious faces. After only 2 minutes of the game, goalkeeper Pickford passed the ball out of bounds without pressing the opponent... When the lead was eroded, English players began to become anxious and worried, and almost used the method of "no goal scored, no goal was enough" to play the last 20 minutes and overtime of regular time. Watch the live broadcast of Roma in Mourinho bluntly said: "English players are too stressed and they play very painfully. I hope they can relax. If the team has not smiled on the court, the result will generally not be ideal." This time, the famous Portuguese coach came true.

"This European Championship is a great journey, and the result may not be good, but we have just set sail." After missing the European Championship championship, England's official social media updated such a passage.Indeed, Southgate's transformation of the Three Lions will not stop because of the final defeat. The talented young players still have a lot of opportunities to prove themselves in the Intercontinental Competition, but their next priority may be to ask the legendary seniors 55 years ago how to cultivate a heart that is strong enough to win the championship.
