Home Promotions Foden will be « exciting for the next few years » for England
England coach Gareth Southgate praised both goals, Phil Foden, for bringing down Iceland, a few weeks after his fledgling international career threatened to halt. .
The Three Lions brought down the curtain on a difficult year in international football with a comfortable 4-0 win at Wembley, where Foden shone. .
The Manchester City striker made his debut against Iceland in September before being brought home for violating Covid regulations and was then dropped the following month in a head three-way match in England matches as part of his penalty..
But he’s back with a hit and his late set of fine finishes capped a happy ending of the year for Southgate – who had earlier seen Declan Rice and Mason Mount score in what was a dead rubber in the Nations League.
“Tonight’s performance is the reason we chose him in September because we know what he can do,” he said of Foden’s Summa.
“I am really happy for him and his family, because the experience he had in September was really difficult for any young man and we all make mistakes.
« What we were intent on doing was making sure that when this month came in a difficult situation, you walk in the door and look at everyone’s faces knowing that the last time you saw them was complicated. ».
« It took him a few days, and I think settling down in camp and starting to smile and relax a little more – then we felt tonight it was a really good match for him. ».
“We know what he is capable of doing and he is the one who will be exciting for England the next few years.
“I think we are well aware of a group of young players coming and we think they will be great for England for years to come.. I think it was great that the audience got a glimpse of that.
From the Harry Maguire case before a Greek court and the notable bio-breach by Mason Greenwood and Foden to headaches, empty stands and his own Covid-19 matches, this was a tough fall for Southgate.
Although he finished at a high level, he still highlights the fact that recent camps have been hit by the off-court behaviors of some of his players – and he called for improvements in this area going forward.
“But we also need to realize that there are lessons to be learned from this period. We created drama for ourselves on and off the field, which made life more complicated.
« We weren’t close to all of our players and we have to take a look at why this is happening and think about it – that’s the balance really..
Just about almost all of the greatest unassigned Premier League players ever England have been chasing after them. And only four of them were English.

Losing England is satisfying in a way that winning simply isn’t. It fills a much larger hole.
