Southgate praises the defense after the rematch with Brazil
15.11.2017
England coach Gareth Southgate boasted his defenders after a 0-0 draw with Brazil. This was the second consecutive leap for the three lions after the same result a day ago in the check against Germany. The specialist, however, thinks that the two games have developed quite differently. These were two very different games. On Friday we held the ball well while today we were concerned about the strength of Brazil. We were defiant in defense. We showed stability and spirit at a great level. I am more proud of today`s match because we have come up against the best team in the world and have achieved a bad result. Overall we were well on the pitch. In the last controls we played against two of the best teams in the world that have been building for several years now. Brazil is a team as long as we have a long way to go, says Southgate. The trio in defense was perfect. Joe Gomez has been chosen to play the game and rightly so. John Stones was also very stable in both matches. Harry Maguire also made good inclusion. His confidence grows. They can not have a more difficult test. Our scheme also proved to be successful and we did not give much opportunity to the rival, and even at the end we could win. With these young players, we could have four goals, but that did not happen. We proved that we had no chance to have the best protection in the qualifiers, and now we have kept the best team in the world, `added the mentor.
