Read our privacy policy Gareth Southgate knows stumbling but spirited England have to raise their game if they are to stand a chance of beating “outstanding” Switzerland in Saturday’s Euro 2024 quarter-final. “He’s had an incredible impact on his clubs, his national team already, but he’s still a young man and he is going to say things, react to things, in a way that young people will. “Also, I think he knows that we’re trying to help him through all of these challenges and hurdles that the different environment of the national team brings because it is a different environment.” Few understand that better than defender John Stones, who has gone from perennial Premier League champions Manchester City to his fifth major international tournament. I think the game against the Swiss will throw completely different tactical problems - just as difficult, just as complex and a different solution to solve Gareth Southgate The 30-year-old defender said after the Slovakia win that England could “kind of take the handbrake off” after Sunday’s emotional win – comments that seemed to surprise Southgate.
