Here Is Why England WILL WIN EURO-2024!
Euro 2024 is the main football tournament of the upcoming summer, however, its favorites are already obvious. In this video, we'll tell you why England are the main contenders for the title and how the Three Lions will win it.
So subscribe to the channel and let's get started!
The Squad
The main trump card of the English national team at the upcoming Euros is a phenomenal squad. The English have had a very powerful roster before, but this season, many players have moved from the ranks of top players to world-class level.
Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka - all of them have made a lot of progress and, importantly, are mentally ready for big wins.
Let's start by modeling the starting lineup that Gareth Southgate will be able to use in the tournament if everyone is healthy. The coach usually uses a 4-3-3 formation, so we'll build on that.
Jordan Pickford is the number one goalkeeper. One of the Walker-Trippier duo will be playing on the right side of the defense. For now, we'll go with Kyle, who seems to be in better physical condition. In the center, Southgate relies on experience and stability, so the Stones-Maguire pairing are the favorites. On the left, Ben Chilwell will be seen.
Declan Rice is obviously the defensive midfielder. One of the number 8 positions is reserved for the phenomenal Jude Bellingham. Trent Alexander-Arnold, who performed well on this position in the autumn, is a favorite for the other one.
The attacking trio also looks more or less obvious: Phil Foden on the left, Bukayo Saka on the right and captain Harry Kane in the center.
Just a glance at this team is enough to realize that we are looking at an incredible machine. However, what is really impressive about this team is the depth of the squad. As for the attack, England has three different trios, each of which can deliver a victory at the Euros.
In addition to the main one Foden-Kane-Saka, we can imagine Rashford-Watkins-Bowen. Don't like it? Then how about Sterling-Toney-Palmer? No team in Europe has such depth in attack - not even France. And we haven't even mentioned Jack Grealish, James Maddison or Anthony Gordon.
By the way, like this video if you are impressed by the attacking arsenal of the England national team!
Other positions are also perfectly fine. In particular, there are Walker, Trippier, Alexander-Arnold on the right side of the defense. Joe Gomez, who restarted his career this season, can also play there. Let's not forget about the injured Reece James from Chelsea.
In the center of the pitch, Conor Gallagher, Jordan Henderson, Kobbie Mainoo and Kalvin Phillips can back up the starters.
Previously, it was believed that the Achilles' heel of this team was the lack of depth in the center of defense, but even here, a reliable cover emerged. The main pair of Stones-Maguire can be replaced by Milan's leader Fikayo Tomori, young super talents Jarrad Branthwaite and Levi Colwill, and Ezri Konsa from the fantastic Aston Villa.
All in all, England could have fielded three different squads at the Euros, and each of them would have fought for victory. Since that would only be possible in the EAFC, here are these squads in that style!
Dominic Solanke, Tammy Abraham, Curtis Jones, James Ward-Prowse, Eberechi Eze, Mark Guehi and Ben White, who refused to play for the national team, all of them did not have room even in the third team. That's how powerful this side is in terms of talent.
The Hunger
Of course, names alone don't play football. Psychological fitness and motivation play a huge role. And this is another trump card of the English national team.
This team already has enough experience and at the same time is young and hungry for victories. Harry Kane has long been one of the best center-forwards of our time and is most eager to break his trophy-less curse.
Jude Bellingham is shining at Real Madrid and there seems to be no limits for him. Declan Rice moved to Arsenal and immediately became a leader there, which only adds to his confidence. Foden and Saka have made several steps in their development this season.
The current England national team has already stopped a step away from the big trophy twice: first it was the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup, and then the final of Euro 2020. Now they have to make the final push, as the France did when they won the 2018 World Cup after losing the Euro 2016 final.
Some of you may say that at the beginning of the century, England already had a superstar team that nevertheless won nothing. Indeed, remember that squad: Rooney, Gerrard, Beckham, Lampard, Terry, Ferdinand and others.
At the time, everyone also said that with such a selection of players, the team was bound to win a major tournament. However, there is one thing that distinguishes the team of the early 21st century and the current one. And it is the unity within the group.
