Recently, Paul Ince, in an interview, stated that Gareth Southgate is a football genius and quitting the England manager’s job after winning the Euros wouldn’t be seen as a wise move of stepping down at the peak.
Paul Ince said, “When a coach makes substitutions, there are only two outcomes: it either makes him look like an idiot or a genius.”
“No matter which specific player you bring on, there will always be questions. ‘Why didn’t he bring on Tony? Why not Gordon?’ But it turns out that Southgate’s substitutions have been effective; he truly is a football genius.”
“In the age of social media, coaches can’t escape criticism, but I think Southgate doesn’t care. We’ve reached the final, and even if we win it all, Southgate might still face criticism! That’s the nature of public opinion these days.”
“Yes, we seem to have incredible luck, but looking back at history, England has also suffered due to bad luck and failed to achieve what it should have. I hope Southgate wins this, as he has brought significant changes to the Three Lions in many aspects.”
“I remember when I was playing, many people were reluctant to play for the national team because they thought club games were more important.”
“Perhaps Southgate wants a break after this tournament, but if he does, he’d be foolish, because this squad still has a lot to offer in the next World Cup!”
