The puzzle of the Blues lineup… Big pressure on Germany… Follow this Saturday with us

Maybe this one holds better and he doesn’t have to put it back on every 30 seconds…

He actually wanted to send a video to his family to show them what he was doing, and boom. Plus he was on a golf course and he managed to land right on the only tiny area where there was gravel instead of grass. Tough luck.

The English came out first in their group but after three horrible purges, and before the round of 16 tomorrow against Slovakia, all the old glories have their little comments.

The general consensus is that Bellingham at 10 doesn’t work in any case. “It has reduced the influence of both Kane, a centre-forward who likes to drop back to help build up the play, and Foden, who has been exiled to the left wing after shining in the centre at Manchester City this season,” said Gary Neville.

So, what solutions? “The way Phil Foden and Bellingham are used together has not been successful,” Alan Shearer wrote in a column for BBC Sport. I think the best solution would be to use Bellingham alongside Rice and put Foden at number 10.”

Some are even pushing for a major upheaval. This is the case of former Arsenal striker Ian Wright, who would like to see Bukayo Saka play left back to leave the right side of the attack to Cole Palmer, breathtaking at Chelsea and interesting when he entered the Euro .

Ex-international Trevor Steven defends the same idea: “I would put Saka at left-back, Anthony Gordon on the left wing, Cole Palmer on the right wing, Phil Foden at number 10 and I would bring down Jude Bellingham in central midfield with Declan Rice. We need this kind of radical maneuver for the team to regain energy. »

All this so that Southgate changes nothing and wins 1-0 on a penalty tomorrow….

And if you want my opinion, it’s a very good idea to put a real 9 because he’s going to shake up the Danish defense. And then he showed in the group stage that he was capable of sending monstrous blocks to the bottom without asking questions, that’s what we like.

Mordor at the top, the Shire at the bottom… Because if the Germans get through, it’s very likely that they’ll fall on Spain afterwards and there’s also a potential France-Portugal below. The team that reaches the final in this part of the table will certainly have left feathers…

The table for the round of 16 of Euro 2024 - 20 Minutes

We know what it’s like when we are the host country, the story only starts to get better from the quarter-finals onwards and this round of 16 against Denmark really has all the makings of a trap match. Danish coach Hjulmand warned: “To beat us, the Germans will have to be very strong. »

Nagelsmann knows well that from now on it’s life and death. “A knockout match is nevertheless something special, we have no room for error. We want to satisfy the enormous expectations of the whole country. »

Two definite replacements, yay!

Perhaps the least worst of the options, we’ll say… It’s a nice headache in any case that presents itself for the coach, after three group matches far from expectations.

Grizou back or not? Rabiot left midfielder in the system that was put in place against the Netherlands? Barcola on his roll to the detriment of Dembélé? And Mbappé, where do we put him?

There are still a lot of uncertainties, and it’s quite new at this stage of the competition. On the last ones, we had seen some adjustments along the way but at the end of the pools we knew roughly where we were going. There, it’s still very vague.

The weather is nice, the sky is blue, the birds are singing, everything is in place for the big start of the 8th finals! The real competition starts today, we know it, you know it, DD knows it. Only two more days of preparation for the Blues before the serious stuff.

The Euro 2024 round of 16 begins this Saturday, with a real cherry-picking this time, since the group stage only eliminated eight of the 24 participating teams. The party will begin at 6 p.m. with an attractive Switzerland-Italy match in Berlin. The defending champions, who qualified at the last minute at the expense of Croatia, will have to be wary of the tough Swiss.

The duel between Germany and Denmark, at 9pm in Dortmund, seems a bit more unbalanced. The Mannschaft will be able to count on the support of an entire country, but will also have to deal with the pressure that goes with it.

>> Because after two days without a match, it’s time to go back, we’ll see you here all day long…
