On June 13, Beijing time, England defeated Croatia 1-0 in the first round of the European Championship group stage. Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville said Southgate was England's biggest asset.
Neville said: "I was shocked when I saw Trippier at left-back, but I didn't doubt Southgate's choice because we have a fantastic coach who is England's greatest asset. ”
'Southgate has played seven or eight national tournaments with LinkedIn and he's also coached England u21 and he has a lot of experience."
"There's talk about Calvin Phillips or Sterling being the MVP of the game, but I think Southgate is, and a lot of people say that Gloris should be given a start, but Southgate didn't even put him off the bench. He made a lot of unwelcome decisions, but the truth is, no one knows this team better than he does. In the end, we scored 3 points, which is what matters. ”
'Against Scotland, I think Luke Shaw or Chilwell will come out, they're both more aggressive, and against Croatia we need to be steady, so Trippier started.'
