00:00England with the calibre of players we have. World, world class players that are playing
00:13at the world stage in big, big tournaments. Champions League, Premier Leagues. You want
00:20a better performance than that. Better performance than the last two games. As I mentioned, me
00:25as a fan, me as a coach, I expect more from these players. And it's the responsibility
00:31on Gareth, well a little bit because he chooses the team.
00:55He chooses the team because he focuses on the players. Yes, obviously, the one who chose them and who puts them there is the Southgate coach.
01:02And who offers the approach, and who decides who the starters are, and who tells them how to form.
01:07But the players are the ones on the field. On the field, the players are the ones who are spoken to. And there, it seems to me that they are missing. I don't know what will happen.
01:14We talked about it in the development of the program. There are times when you finish such a demanding campaign, in the case of Bellingham,
01:24where I was in the Champions League, or the English, where the Premier League is super demanding. You finish very tired, mentally the same.
01:30You let yourself go, you free yourself. But then a tournament of this high quality begins. And when you call England, you can't fail.
01:36The Danish are the same, they are very tired, surely, but they go for the heart. Today the players failed.
01:42This is the job, you have to be professional, you have to give yourself. Totally agree.
01:46Let's see, you have the top scorer of your team, which is Harry Kane. By the way, first goal, last edition he made three goals, so he's going for two more.
01:53But what I understand is that we are blaming the players. I mean, those who are not playing are the players.
01:59Because, I say, it's hard for me to think that in two weeks they have forgotten how to play.
02:03No, no, no. We are talking about elite footballers.
02:06No, but the approach and the tactics, and the strategy.
02:08Of course, I think that England is the leader, because suddenly I hear a lot of criticism everywhere, to the leader.
02:16The leader of the group of the Euro.
02:18Luckily, did you see the goal with which they tied?
02:22It's a spectacular goal, but we are talking about a team that is effective and that despite, I believe, despite Gareth Southgate, is a leader.
02:31Ah, so it was big for him.
02:33But there is something there with the coach.
02:36But it's the same Southgate who led them to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup, to the final just in the previous Euro.
02:45And also, who made them play very well in that match, in that complete World Cup, but especially in that match against France in Qatar,
02:53that surely England, for many eyes, deserved to advance.
02:56So, what I want from you is...
02:58I don't know, I don't know.
03:00Since we are talking about merits, don't convince me too much.
03:03In the last Euro, I don't think England deserved to advance to the final.
03:08In fact, I think they could have been eliminated much earlier.
03:10The issue is that, again, England, based on their figures, despite Southgate, managed to advance.
03:17And it's a team that is effective.
03:19How did Southgate get to this first team of the English team?
03:21First, it went through the U-21.
03:23And it was very successful, by the way, there in the U-21, 33 games led, 27 triumphs.
03:28It can be quite misleading, right?
03:30In terms of statistics.
03:31And it gets directly to the senior team.
03:34But then, here, it seems that the numbers deceive.
03:37Because England, as you mentioned, is the leader.
03:40But the fans are not liking what is happening in the field of play.
03:43And you have a point.
03:44It's not looking superior.
03:45It's not playing well.
03:47And it could play better.
03:49And I agree with you.
03:50And what is missing then?
03:51But we are talking about a team that...
03:53I think there is little to criticize if it is in the first place of the table.
03:56I mean, resultist.
03:57I get the resultist, Mr. Ramón Barrechea.
03:59Look, imagine in history books.
04:01When we google it tomorrow, we will say, who advanced England?
04:06And how did it advance?
04:08In statistics, it does not say, hey, but it played well.
04:11It played very well, winning with an own goal.
04:13I'm going to ask you something, Miguel.
04:15Imagine, you support the team you tell me.
04:17And I tell you, what do you prefer?
04:18That they play well or that they are champions?
04:20Surely, people want their team to be champions.
04:23This also comes a lot, based on the fact that you see all the squads.
04:27England is the most expensive.
04:28And you say, if it is the most expensive, then I agree with you.
04:31Of course, they would have to give a much higher performance.
04:34Much more expensive.
04:35Much more expensive.
04:36But we have to wait.
04:38Here, time will tell us really and determine what will happen.
04:42If England has eliminated immediately in the round of 16,
04:45then yes, it will open.
04:46Oh, teacher, what wisdom.
04:48That's why I love that you are with us.
04:50Because he is very wise, although I do not agree with that.
