In the final of Euro 2024, England lost the title to Spain 1-2, finishing runners-up in two consecutive European Championships, and Kane's titleless life continues. After the game, fans and media pointed the finger at Southgate, believing that he was the most expensive national team on the planet and the biggest shortcoming of England, a 1.5 billion European giant. Because Southgate changed his formation again in the European Championship final, he had found the most suitable 3421 lineup and returned to the 4231 formation, which made England return to the "living" state of the group stage, and the Premier League MVP Foden was also scrapped.

European Cup final, Spain vs England, Spain is still unchanged, 433/4231 switch, when attacking, Olmo went up and formed three major attackers with Nico and Yamal. Looking at England again, the familiar 3421 formation that had been played in the previous 2 knockout games suddenly stopped playing, and once again played the 4231 formation during the group stage, Luke Shaw replaced Kieran Trippier to play left-back, which is a good thing for a left-footed player to play left-back, but Southgate let Foden play in the front midfield, Bellingham played on the left wing, which made both of them play awkwardly, and even grabbed the ball, and at the same time, there was no Saka + Foden's bilateral striker explosive point play on the right side. Why Southgate changed the formation so much, the cheesy point is to face Spain, and it is the "live" style of play in the group stage, and the game data says it all.

After the game, England started 11 points, with the exception of Bellingham and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, all rated below 7, which showed that Southgate made the England team uncomfortable and was suppressed by Spain.

Looking at the match data, Spain has more than 65% possession, with a total of 16 shots on goal, of which 6 are on target; England had a total of 9 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Spain have the advantage in possession, shots on goal and shots on target, and 2-1 is a very reasonable scoreline.

The Spain defence, Laporte plays in the beach super, Cucurella has not been scolded by Premier League fans in recent years, but the Matadors play high-level tactical football, teams and tactics to reborn individuals, and even play beyond the norm, in this European CupCucurellaIt is simply a god of war left-back, both offensive and defensive, and Spain's stunning goal is precisely Cucurella's assist. Looking at the England lineup again,Mr. Five Billion (Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Rice, Kane), Bellingham is Real Madrid's top scorer, Foden is the Premier League MVP, Saka is Arsenal's top scorer, Rice is Arsenal's iron waist, Kane is the European Golden Boot, as well as the Premier League Silver Boot Palmer, and the Premier League assist king Watkins, Southgate did not have good tactical support, the final change was busy, Bellingham and Foden could not play in the midfield, but due to the card, Southgate just did not need Palmer to start. Although England's major results are not bad, this is because they have the best national team squad on the planet, and the stars guarantee the team floor, while rookie coach Southgate can't get England to reach the team ceiling and bring football home.

Zhidao summary,It's time for Gareth Southgate to step down, England need a master tactician to make good use of these British stars.
