Southgate has hinted he could stay with England until the 2026 World Cup as he is excited about the new generation led by Jude Bellingham. 'You have to see how the summer went – it's as simple as that, England are one of the favourites. In my opinion, I know what we can achieve in the summer. I know what my own success criteria are. Until then, I don't really want to think about anything else now. ”
About Bellingham et al.
There's no doubt that it's exciting to coach this team. Regardless of the strength of the team, it is always exciting to coach a team. In the end, we have to give the best performance and you have to make the best decisions for everyone. I can't make a decision before the Euros. ”
When asked if he would still coach England in competitions such as the UEFA Nations League.
I think there will probably be 55 coaches and there is a good chance that half of the coaches will not continue to coach the national team after the European Championships. This is international football.
You have to keep winning football games and then make decisions, so I'm totally relaxed. All my focus is on playing my best game this summer. We always reflect on things in the period after that and make the best decisions for England. ”
Gareth Southgate insists his tactical philosophy at the Euros.
If anything we've done before, if you change too much, it's going to have a detrimental effect on the summer's performance.
I think while our focus is on the summer, from a personal point of view, you're totally invested in what's going on, and I think that's how it should be. ”
He added that his "only focus is on trying to win the game for England".
Southgate is optimistic about the English player's overseas performances, having flown to Ajax last weekend to watch Jordan Henderson and Bellingham play at Real Madrid.
Southgate said: "It's easier to judge a person by playing in the Europa League. For him, I think he'll be excited for that night's game, it was a proper derby.
First of all [Ajax] the club is very happy to have him here, he received a warm welcome and I'm sure it means a lot to him. ”
He said Bellingham's form was "outstanding".
We know he can adapt to almost anything. Southgate said, "It's clear that Real Madrid have put him in a more senior role. I guess what we didn't see was how many goals he scored ......I know the club is happy with him. ”
Gareth Southgate will announce his final England squad ahead of next month's Summer Euros, which will play international friendlies against Brazil and Belgium at Wembley.
At the moment, we're reflecting on the people in every different position in our roster, how we can improve. He added.
We're probably going to look at all the team candidates in the last few games, and more of them are close to being selected, so we're going to pay more attention to them, whether it's live streaming, whether it's data analysis.
England did a lot of preparation behind the scenes of the camp and how everything was going to run, as you would expect, you know, all of this going on behind the scenes. ”
