England manager, Gareth Southgate has come out to say that previous games vs Germany are irrelevant ahead of their clash in Euro 2020. He recently revealed that his boys are focused on writing a new chapter in the Three Lions history books in the upcoming clash.
According to him, history will not play the decisive round of 16 game so his boys will not be paying attention to what has happened between both countries in past years.
He added that the current players have put down lots of historical performances in the last couple of years and they are willing to continue with such performances in major competitions.
His words, “I don’t need to demystify it. The history is an irrelevance for them.”
“We’ve got boys born into the 2000s, which is obviously scary for both of us, but it’s the reality of the group we’re dealing with.”
“It’s of no consequence to them what we did in, you know, Peter Bonetti in 1970 and what happened in 1990 and so on.”
“Of course, they’re watching that stuff and getting a bit of an understanding of it but it’s not something we’re speaking to them about.”
“This team have put down lots of historical performances in the last couple of years, made their own history, made their own stories and this is how they should view this game.”
“It’s an opportunity. We’ve only won one knockout match in a European Championship as a country, so they’ve got a great chance to go and be the first team since 1996 to do that.”
