After a lackluster performance in their draw against Slovenia, Gareth Southgate and his England team faced criticism from their fans, with some even hurling empty cups towards the manager as he approached the stands to acknowledge supporters. Addressing the incident later, the 53-year-old manager acknowledged the fans’ frustration, describing their hostile reaction as creating an “unusual atmosphere” around the team. Southgate appealed to the fans to direct their dissatisfaction towards him while continuing to support the players.
Speaking to reporters post-match, Southgate emphasized the importance of unity, stating, “I understand it. I’m not going to back away from it. The most important thing here is that the supporters stay with the team.” He acknowledged the focus on him rather than the players, noting the unprecedented nature of the situation. Southgate stressed the need for collective support, underscoring that team success hinges on their solidarity.
Looking ahead, England’s next Euro 2024 fixture is scheduled for Sunday in Gelsenkirchen, likely against the Netherlands, pending the final group stage results.
