The head coach of the England national team, Gareth Southgate, commented on his team's defeat in the match of the 5th round of the Nations League group stage against the Italian team (0:1).
Gareth Southgate, Getty Images— I understand the reaction of the fans, given our performances in this tournament. This is a normal surge of emotions. I will not be overly critical of the players. We had more possession, had more shots. In some parts of the match, we played decently.
We had a few chances in front of Donnarumma's goal, but the players could not show their determination. In addition, you need to work on the technique.
There were many positives in this matchup. Some football players showed a good individual game. "I think this game is a step in the right direction, but I understand very well that the fans want a result," said Gareth Southgate.
We will remind that the English national team prematurely took the last position in the group and will play in the B division in the next Nations League draw.
