LISTEN to It's All Kicking Off! EUROS DAILY: Why ‘Gareth’s Galacticos’ are being compared to Real Madrid The Three Lions boss hasn't had an easy ride but should be cherished by fans Gareth Southgate will lead England out for their second consecutive major final It was like Winston Churchill in concert with Stephen Hawking - passion and patriotism reinforced by deep intellect. Gareth Southgate has successfully guided the Three Lions to two successive Euros finals Southgate is so authentic because he means and will stand by every single word he says That play changed my own perception of Southgate, so compelling was the eloquent portrayal of him by actor Joseph Fiennes. Like the play, there was laughter - ‘I couldn’t celebrate like I did after the semi-final if it was Lithuania away, could I?’ - but the most moving 30 seconds of 30 minutes came close to the very end, when asked how he deals with his emotions in the face of criticism, and beer. Southgate led England's final training session on Saturday ahead of the final in Berlin He is a calm figure and by his own admission is 'the type you have to prod a lot to get a bark' 'I think we all grow up looking at those figures in our lives and you mimic and take on those traits.
