Ιταλία - Αγγλία: «Επίθεση» στον Σάουθγκεϊτ για τις επιλογές στα πέναλτι (pics)
Η Ιταλία ήταν η μεγάλη νικήτρια του Euro 2020. Νίκησε με 3-2 την Αγγλία στα πέναλτι, στο Γουέμπλεϊ, και σήκωσε το τρόπαιο για δεύτερη φορά. Ο προπονητής των «τριών λιονταριών», Γκάρεθ Σάουθγκεϊτ, δέχτηκε «επίθεση» μετά το τέλος του αγώνα για την απόφασή του να ρίξει στο ματς τους Σάντσο και Ράσφορντ στο 120' και εν συνεχεία να τους επιλέξει να χτυπήσουν πέναλτι.
Υπενθυμίζεται ότι και οι δύο αστόχησαν, το ίδιο και ο 19χρονος Σάκα, που έχασε το τελευταίο πέναλτι. Μπορεί αρκετοί να μίλησαν με πολύ καλά λόγια για τον Άγγλο κόουτς, αλλά οι περισσότεροι τον... έστησαν στη γωνία για τις αποφάσεις του.
Who the FUCK puts a 19 year old up to take the fifth penalty???

It should never be Bukayo Saka taking the fifth penalty. You barely use Sancho all tournament and he takes the fourth penalty? Jesus.

Southgate brought on Rashford and Sancho just to take the penalties. The greatest substitution in the history of football. pic.twitter.com/HM53Kg0J8E

Italy deserved to win across the game, dominated for an hour. Through his decisions across the tournament Gareth Southgate got far more right than wrong. Results dictate everything and England missed penalties, so it looks as thought they chose wrong.

i rate southgate highly but fucking hell why put saka, a relatively inexperienced 19 year old, as the deciding penalty taker, shameful

Southgate deserves all the criticism tonight, not the penalty takers. Stupid decision to start a Back 5, didn’t bring Grealish on in the WHOLE 90 minutes, questionable subs and awful penalty order. Game winnable in 90. We may never get here again and we will regret this for life.

A coach live and die by decisions. Southgate been good making the the right decisions this tournament. Making “pen-subs” - if they score “genius”.

Giving responsibility to a 19-year old. If he scores: Genius.
No goals= not genius
Of all people Southgate knows all about that
Another oh so no near, and the worst yet.

Southgate couldn’t answer the biggest question of him as caution lost that game - and squandered so many advantages.
Italy were deserved winners. The team of the tournament are its winners

Not blaming Bukayo Saka for the last penalty kick miss but why was a 19 year old taking our last penalty?

Gareth Southgate was so unfair to Rashford and Sancho, putting pressure on two young players by bringing them on specifically for penalties after not giving them many minutes all tournament. This is all on Southgate
