England national team coach Gareth Southgate appeared in a press conference, to talk about tomorrow's confrontation against Spain, in the final of the European Nations Cup "Euro 2024" at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

The coach said: “Everyone is ready. We are excited about this challenge; it is clear that the team has improved over the past few weeks. I must say that it has been an honor to work with them. It has been a great environment to work with, and now we have a great opportunity to achieve what we set out to do.”

He added: We always had a long-term vision that we divided into smaller parts. Players don't need to be motivated for such matches; We have to make sure that we are on the right side. Small details decide matches like this. On these nights, you have to do everything right.” Z

He added: “We know What winning tomorrow would mean for everyone at home and for us as a team - not just for this group but for all the players involved and all the staff. They all did that, contributed to the culture of this group, and we would like to give everyone a special night tomorrow.”

He continued, “I am not a believer in fairy tales, but I believe in dreams. We had big dreams, but you have to achieve these things. We scored late goals, penalties, and that doesn't let that happen to us. We have to perform at the level we need.”

And Spain’s strengths: “Spain has a way of playing.” Very clear; They have a stable team that presses very well with real power. They keep the ball very well so you have to be very organised. But we also maintained the strengths of Spain: playing the ball very well in the last few matches, in particular.”

He noted: “I think the penalty shootout is A skill that must be performed under pressure and you can practice and improve it. We wanted to control and be responsible for this process. “We have won three of the last four penalties, which is a big turnaround that a lot of people can take part in and feel a lot of satisfaction from, and again, we have to be ready in case that is needed tomorrow.”

He added: “Sometimes you have to go through difficult nights as a team. We tried to change the mentality from the beginning; We tried to be more honest about where we were as a nation. We had high expectations, but they didn't match where we were in terms of performance, and now the high expectations are still there, but you always have to be in the latter stages of tournaments to learn how to win those big games. I know we have to get this trophy to really feel. With respect from the world of football.”

He concluded: “For me, those difficult nights [losing Euro 96 and Euro 2020] taught me that football can change very quickly.” ; The difference between winning and losing is very small, it has given me more perspective in my life because there are bigger things than football. Tomorrow I don't have any fear of what might happen because I've been through everything and I don't want the players to feel that fear because we want them to be the best version of themselves. If we're not afraid of losing, it gives us a better chance of winning."
