LONDON, June 8 ― England manager Gareth Southgate said his players would learn from a chastening defeat by Iceland today as he warned that his side, one of the favourites for the European Championship, could not rely on talent alone to win the tournament.
The hosts' limp display just over a week before their tournament begins against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen, Germany drew boos from fans at Wembley at both halftime and fulltime ― which Southgate said was a fair response to the game.But the manager said the match could be a blessing in disguise as England, who lost the Euro 2020 final on penalties to Italy, seek to go one better in Germany.
“But that might also have masked some flaws that were apparent tonight and from my perspective I've learned a lot from the game.”Asked if his plans for the tournament had been changed by the performance, Southgate said: “Not a huge amount because I think we haven't had the full group together on the pitch at any one point.
