"This is not really supposed to be as comfortable as that with England, is not it? Gary Lineker, presenter of Match of the Day, a key member of the last English team to reach the semi-finals, at Italia 90. Another major step in the defying logic of the World Cupremained behind for an hour after the conclusion here and were rewarded by an appearance of Southgate and an autograph signing session of Captain Harry Kane, can not dare to dream now, when can they England maneuver through Russia, killing The victory against Tunisia was their first in a match of Opening of a major tournament since Paraguay was defeated at the World Cup in Germany in 2006. The victory in 16 against Colombia was not only the first straight knockout win since 2002 but also their first shootout victory at a World Cup.

France – two teams containing a collection of world-clbad players. This World Cup, however, did not work in reality, as we saw when the Germans fell into the group stage. England and its supporters have suffered enough agony at major tournaments – indeed downright embarrbaded at the last World Cup in Brazil four years ago and at Euro 2016 – to afford to dream. The dream is now moving to Moscow. The Southgate FactorGareth Southgate has experienced the hardest edge of the game, so few will blame him for praise and adulation falling on his shoulders now. The 47-year-old bore the burden of missing a crucial penalty in the Euro 96 semifinal shootout against Germany and also his Southgate Gareth was a player at the 1998 and 2002 World Cups but said Saturday that he prefers experience as a manager of this team. England and the Football Association are now the beneficiaries of all these experiences, not only of his playing career but also of knowledge acquired under the direction of international managers such as Terry Venables. Southgate took office The England is at its lowest level after the resignation of Roy Hodgson after the 2016 Euro and the unhappy reign of a match of Sam Allardyce. Two years later, they can do the story. He brought maturity, meticulousness and meticulous preparation to his task and helped the supporters of England to feel a real affection for him and his players. , meaning that he worked with the likes of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and Harry Kane in the under-21 team. The manager has been rightly recognized as a dignified and dignified dignitary for England. He was even wiped out about the craze for Twitter "Gareth Southgate Would", reflecting his basic decency and his sudden fashion icon status thanks to his brand blue vest. Southgate, however, is much more than that. 19659006] English players respect him as a person and manager, a key starting point, but he also added essential elements to the mix. He paid attention to details, notes on Pickford's baby bottle at the shootout against Colombia At hard work on the play pieces that were the most powerful weapon of England here in Russia. Southgate is also loyal and keeps the confidence in its players. Dele Alli and Raheem Sterling had their struggles in Russia, but Southgate supported them, giving them strong public support when needed. And his cool attitude, with a steel edge underneath, allowed English players to abandon the chains that weighed them in previous tournaments Southgate will return from this World Cup with his reputation greatly improved – and perhaps even with even greater glory against his name. The rise of EnglandManagement and players have had a quiet and relaxed confidence since their arrival in Russia almost a month ago. The men of Southgate were accompanied by realistic expectations in which an exit in the quarterfinals (most predictions suggest that Germany or Brazil) would mean a return to the home with respectability. These two superpowers must now watch from afar as England play in the semi-finals of the World Cup. Slowly but surely, England has gathered its convictions and momentum, two priceless goods, as they move into this vast country, to the point that they will go to Moscow on Wednesday with the confidence enhanced by a professional performance that represented stubborn Sweden.

By its purpose. And there are still more ingredients that gave England a powerful mix. Defenders know that they have a goalkeeper in Pickford, who was magnificent at Samara Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson was a discreet but exceptional contributor, just like John Stones. England also has the essential ingredients of the team spirit and unity. , which helps them dig deep when the situation becomes difficult – a "group of brothers" mentality, as Kane called it. The round will be as never before in Moscow as they know that they are a match of a World Cup final England The growing belief, their increased maturity through the tournament, and the confidence that they will derive from these results will be powerful tools in the greenhouse atmosphere of the Luzhniki stadium. Staying in the bubble and going out of hysteriaWhile growing hysteria is grabbing their supporters at home, l & rsquo; England can retreat behind the wooden gates of their peaceful retreat on the Gulf of Finland in Repino from the house and the buzz of the World Cup that the mild, coastal climates and isolated base of 39, a small road lined with trees 45 minutes from St. Petersburg. It's turned out to be the perfect place for England – and will be ideally a shield of frenzy that starts badping around Southgate and its players. England will get back to work in its well-ordered training base in Zelenogorsk, which could not be a greater contrast stle of Moscow.
