Former England manager Fabio Capello is concerned about one Three Lions star at Euro 2024.
England 's recent tournament experiences count in their favour too; after reaching the final of Euro 2020, the Three Lions were perhaps unfortunate not to get past France in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup.Despite that, ex- England boss Fabio Capello doesn't think England have what it takes to win their first major tournament since 1966, and he believes one player in particular will end up costing them.
England underperformed at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, finishing second in their group behind the USA before losing the Germany in the last-16.Speaking at the Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid, Capello identified England's defence as a barrier to success, in particular goalkeeper"The problem is defending and the keeper. At centre-back they are weak, not at the same level as the rest of the team.
"When you get to the very important trophies you miss something. That is the fear that freezes the team and it happens very often with England. It is this history of not winning. It is a monkey on their backs.
