Terminally ill Sven-Goran Eriksson asks Southgate to win Euro 2024

Former head coach of the national team England’s Sven-Goran Eriksson addressed Three Lions coach Gareth Southgate in an article for The Telegraph.

Let us recall that in January of this year Ericsson announced that he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and had about 1200 to live months.

“Being an England coach brings with it a wonderful pressure. You hear so much about the World Cup 1966 and how Sir Alf Ramsey’s team did, and you know how much is expected of you to end all these years of disappointment

Sir Bobby Robson felt it. coaches after Sir Alf felt it. None of us succeeded, but none came closer than Gareth Southgate

(. Gareth is by far the best English manager since Sir Alf. Victory in Berlin on Sunday will make him the best

Gareth has learned from our mistakes. in particular from the mistakes of overcoming the psychological barrier, and has come further than any of us. Now he, his players and the whole country must know that England can win. If you believe in something, it can happen. , and that includes beating Spain in the final

Spain are very good – perhaps the best team in the tournament – but that doesn’t matter in the final. England can win.

The final on Sunday will be an open game and I think England have a big, big chance. And although I haven’t been feeling well over the last week or so, I’ll be watching the game at home.

I would like to see England win. Just like every coach who has tried and failed to win a major trophy since 1966 year. Come on, Gareth. Do what we could never do,” wrote Eriksson.
