FOSTER TIPS ENGLAND FOR EUROS GLORY
Former England international goalkeeper Ben Foster has tipped his country to put up a strong fight at the Euros 2020-2021 after claiming that the side have a squad full of players that are capable of going all the way in the competition. The former Watford and West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper says he believes that the squad England head coach Gareth Southgate has summoned is a very strong one and the players in the squad should all know what it takes to have a great tournament and that they must also play to win the competition.
The 38-year-old said from the goalkeeping department to the defense, the midfield, and the group of attacker's, including the likes of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Harry Kane, Jack Grealish, Raheem Sterling, and others, there is a very encouraging squad depth and they should make use of it to their advantage if they want to emerge as the winners of the competition which is set to start in June and finish in July.
Foster said that England has a lot of players that have remarkable quality and talent and that it's always going to be a tough decision to not call up some players who feel they deserve to be called up. He said, for instance, Patrick Bamford performed excellently well for Leeds United last season but did not earn a call-up to the national team side and even though the player believes he deserved a spot, Southgate did what he thought was best.
