On June 8, England announced the shirt numbers of the 26ers for the European Championship:

Bellingham, who plays for Real Madrid, wears the number 10 shirt; Captain Harry Kane wore the number nine, Manchester City superstar Phil Foden wore the number 11 and Arsenal's Bukayo Saka took over the number seven shirt.

In the last warm-up game before the European Championship, England lost 0-1 to Iceland, and the whole team performed sluggishly, with only one shot on target. Compared to the warm-up matches, England's Euro Championship shirt numbers have changed:

Trent Alexander-Arnold changed from No.19 to No.8, Foden from No.10 to No.11, Palmer from No.7 to No.24, Pickford from No.22 to No.1, Menou's No.8 to No.26 and Kieran Trippier's No.3 to Luke Shaw......

Take a look at England's numbers 1 to 11, which basically put the starting 11 of the European Championship on the cards:

Goalkeeper is No. 1 Jordan Pickford; At the back, No. 2 Walker, No. 6 Guehi, No. 5 Stones, No. 3 Luke Shaw; The double midfielders are No. 4 Rice and No. 8 Alexander-Arnold; The three attacking midfielders are Jude Bellingham, No. 11 Foden and No. 7 Saka, and the central striker is No. 9 Kane.

Alexander-Arnold will wear the number 8 – a number that belongs to the midfield, as in England's number 8 at the 2022 World Cup, such as Jordan Henderson. At the European Championship, Gareth Southgate is ready to "get his feet up": let Trent Alexander-Arnold play in midfield.

The 25-year-old Alexander-Arnold has been playing at right-back at Liverpool. In order to play on his strengths and avoid weaknesses and give full play to Arnold's strong offensive ability, Klopp once let Arnold play in the back. Southgate did the same:

In the warm-up match on June 3, England beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 3-0, with Southgate's 4231 formation, Alexander-Arnold and Conor Gallagher partnering in the back. Trent Alexander-Arnold scored a spectacular volley and was named Team of the Match. It's a pity that Grealish, who provided the assist to Alexander-Arnold, was not selected in the 26-man squad for the European Championship.

England are about to be tested at the European Championships. On June 16, in the first match of the group stage of the European Cup, England played against Serbia; On the 20th, England played Denmark; On the 25th, England vs. Slovenia. As one of the favourites, England will be looking to break the historic fate of winning the European Championship to 0 titles.
