Wednesday’s Euro 2024 showdown with the Netherlands represents a third semi-final in four tournaments for England.
Luke Shaw does not understand the criticism of Gareth Southgate given the England manager has taken a group of players that love him to another semi-final and “the next level”.
The under-fire manager spoke about the ridicule, hurtful personal criticism and beer cups thrown his way after Saturday’s quarter-final shoot-out win against Switzerland.It was his 100th match and a fourth tournament in charge, with left-back Shaw puzzled by those criticising Southgate given his track record and England’s history.“I think what he’s done for the country, for us as players as well. I think he’s really took us to the next level.
Most importantly, the 28-year-old says he has imbued a belief in a group that was lacking during his first tournament experience in 2014 as England went out in the World Cup group stage.“I think we’ve got way more belief now than we ever had and also the togetherness – and it helps with the players we’ve got now at our disposal.“We’ve got world-class players all over the pitch and it’s now time, the crunch when those players will step up.
Shaw knows Memphis Depay and Wout Weghorst well from their time at Manchester United, whose Dutch manager Erik ten Hag sent him a “cheeky message about the game”.Luke Shaw returned to action on Saturday
