Southgate: England Must Be "Tactically Perfect" to Overcome Spain in Euro 2024 Final
England manager Gareth Southgate emphasized the need for a flawless tactical performance to secure a victory against Spain in the Euro 2024 final. Following their 2-1 semi-final win over the Netherlands, Southgate acknowledged that Spain, three-time European champions, are the favourites for the final due to their impressive form throughout the tournament.
Southgate stressed the importance of recovery and strategic planning, given Spain's additional day of rest. "They have been the best team in the tournament," Southgate remarked, highlighting the challenge ahead. "Tactically, we will have to be perfect as they are such a good side."
Arsenal's Declan Rice reflected on the heartache of losing to Italy in the Euro 2020 final and expressed a determination to seize the current opportunity. "Seeing Italy lift that trophy will haunt me forever," Rice said. "We are now presented with another opportunity to write our own history."
Cole Palmer, who provided the assist for Ollie Watkins' decisive goal against the Netherlands, echoed this sentiment. "It's a massive game to change our lives and to make everyone proud," Palmer noted. "Everyone just wants to win so bad."
As England prepares for their second consecutive Euros final, the team is keen to deliver a historic victory and secure their first European Championship title.
