England’s Starting XI to Face Netherlands Revealed Ahead of Euro 2024 Semi-Final Clash
With just hours to go until kick-off, the starting lineup for England’s Euro 2024 semi-final against the Netherlands has been "leaked" by a source close to the camp. Gareth Southgate’s side will be looking to make it to their second consecutive final, and this team selection could be the key to their success.
According to the Daily Mail, Southgate is expected to stick with the changed system that helped England overcome Switzerland in the quarter-finals. This means that Marc Guehi, who was suspended for the previous match, will replace Ezri Konsa at centre-back.
The only change from the side that beat the Swiss is the return of Guehi, with the rest of the team set to remain unchanged. This shows that Southgate is confident in his players and believes that this team has the potential to reach the final.
Speaking after the win over Switzerland, Southgate emphasized that his team was not satisfied with just reaching the quarter-finals. He said, "We arrive in a quarter-final, we’re not satisfied with that. So there is definitely a mindset shift in what we feel is acceptable as a team."
This mentality shift is key to England’s success in the tournament. They need to believe that they can win every match, and this team selection shows that they are taking the right approach.
So, what does this mean for the fans? It’s clear that Southgate has a clear plan in place, and he’s confident in his team’s ability to execute it. With the likes of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, and Jude Bellingham leading the charge, England have every chance of reaching the final.
