I don’t understand Southgate’s tactics: Michael Owen

Hindustan Times  

The Euros are proving to be more interesting than the World Cups. Former England striker Michael Owen, in a conversation facilitated by SonyLiv, breaks down what he feels Gareth Southgate needs to change going forward and why Ronaldo’s big-match ability makes opponents very nervous. England’s problem for a long time has been that their players don’t play as well for the country as they do for the club. We all have opinions and I knew that going into this tournament, I was going to disagree with Southgate’s team because the system he plays I just wouldn’t play. I knew straightaway that we are going to play four defenders but I just think we should play Declan Rice and then we can play two ahead of him, two wide and one striker.
