NEWS. . . BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Conor Gallagher starts for England in tonight’s Euro 2024 organizing final against Slovenia, with Gareth Southgate replacing his team.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been named in midfield for England’s matches against Serbia and Denmark, alongside Declan Rice in midfield.
The Liverpool right-back loses his place in the XI tonight and Chelsea’s Gallagher replaces him in central midfield.
Southgate resisted any further changes, with Phil Foden maintaining his position to the left of England’s attack. Harry Kane was substituted after 70 minutes in the 1-1 draw against Denmark, but the captain also maintains his position as expected.
Speaking before kick-off, Southgate explained his substitution on ITV Sport: “Conor presses the ball very well, his forward running is also a big advantage, so we thought he could stretch them defensively and gain dominance in midfield. He takes the balls. and try to recover them at the top of the field.
“We need to win the ball at the top of the pitch and use it with more composure. We have been very fair in evaluating our performance, we know there is more to come, but we can communicate everything we have to pass. “
“All aspects [can be better]. We have to respect the positions on the ground. We have to be more disciplined to maintain our positions with the ball.
As Group C winners: Netherlands, Austria, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine, Belgium, Georgia or Czech Republic

Kieran Trippier also continues at left-back. Luke Shaw, who hasn’t played football since February due to a hamstring injury, is still not fit to be compatible despite returning to first-team education this week – the Manchester United star is among the substitutes tonight.
Starting XI: Pickford, Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier, Rice, Gallagher, Saka, Bellingham, Foden, Kane
Trippier is suffering from a calf problem but is helping to maintain his position in the team.
Southgate’s resolve to continue Foden Cole Palmer and Anthony Gordon’s wait for their chance at Euro 2024 will continue.
Neither of them won a minute and still hopes to take the box tonight.
England booked their place in the last 16 of the festival without touching the ball on Monday afternoon thanks to Italy’s latest draw against Croatia.
But there is still work to be done to qualify as winners of the organization and a possible round of 16 clashes with Germany.
A win, however, would allow them to defeat many European heavyweights and tie with the third-placed team in Groups D, E or F.
England are currently top of Group C after recovering from four problems in those games against Serbia and Denmark. Denmark and Serbia are also in action tonight at 8 p. m.
