Kyle Walker was quick to defend Gareth Southgate and his tactics following England s 1-1 draw with Denmark.
The Three Lions took the lead in the 18th minute through Harry Kane after a nervous start in Frankfurt, but as it played out against Serbia, were unable to build on their lead.
A criticism of Southgate during his England has been the defensive nature of his team when scoring the opening goal, despite the plethora of talent at his disposal.
But unlike their Group C opener, this time his side were punished when Morten Hjulmand took aim from distance and fired an effort beyond the grasp of Jordan Pickford.
The manager has expressed that he wants us to play free, attacking football, Walker told BBC Sport when asked if Southgate s instructions were …
Cameroon midfielder Landry N Guemo admits he is hoping to return to French Ligue 1 as quickly as possible.
The 28-year-old footballer is currently out of contract having been released by Bordeaux, and he admits he is very surprised by the new situation.
“I find myself in an unprecedented situation. It s not easy to take it mentally, but I do not feel sorry for myself, I remain positive,” the Cameroon star told L Est Republicain.
N Guemo had agreed a three-year deal with newly-promoted Lens in the summer, but the transfer fell through as les Sang et Or were forbidden from signing new players.
The player hopes the issue will be resolved quickly, allowing him to return to French Ligue 1.
“I remain positive, I trust RC Lens and Gervais Martel (…
Inter have no possibility of renewing the contract of Milan Skriniar beyond its expiration date in June, according to the defender s agent Roberto Sistici.
Skriniar was strongly linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain last year, but no move materialised and the centre-back began renegotiating a new deal with Inter.
However, his agent confirmed on Monday that Inter s offer was ultimately rejected in December, and he has since made clear to the club they are in talks with other teams.
Skriniar, who was sent off in Monday s 1-0 defeat by Empoli, is widely expected to eventually sign for PSG, though Sistici refused to name the clubs he is speaking to.
The truth is that the decision to place Milan Skriniar on the transfer market in the summer was made by In…
Aaron Ramsdale feels it is “strange” how much attention is being paid to his battle with David Raya to be Arsenal number one – but admits he fears for his England future if he does not win it.
The 25-year-old signed a new contract last season but has found himself on the bench after summer signing Raya broke into the side and has started just once – a Carabao Cup win at Brentford – since mid-September.
Ramsdale picked up his fourth senior England cap in the 3-1 friendly win away to Scotland last month but was an unused substitute in the recent victories over Australia and Italy.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been asked about the goalkeeping situation ad nauseam since Raya was signed, initially on loan, from Brentford and television cameras are now co…
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson wants the report into the incidents at the Champions League final to represent a turning point after inadequate organisation by UEFA.
The May 28 European showpiece between Liverpool and Real Madrid was twice delayed before kick-off at the Stade de France, with fans unable to enter the ground and tear-gassed by police.
UEFA initially blamed Liverpool fans attempting entry with fake tickets before an independent review, commissioned by European football s governing body, placed the blame at the door of the organisers.
The report released on Monday apportioned primary responsibility to UEFA, while also criticising the actions of the French Football Federation and local police authorities.
On Tuesday, Liverpool demanded acti…
QPR striker Charlie Austin is in-demand this summer
Last season QPR struggled in the Premier League, but while the Hoops were performing their usual disappearing act from the top-flight star striker Charlie Austin was thriving.
The 25-year-old was in his debut campaign in the Premier League, yet he looked like he belonged far more than his Hoops colleagues.
Impressive
Austin’s impressive performances in his debut campaign in the top-flight showed that he could score goals at the highest level. The striker found the net 18 times for the Hoops, who finished bottom of the table after a poor campaign.
At times he seemed to be on a one man mission to keep the Hoops in the top-flight, as his team struggled to score goals without him. It seemed at one…
Athletic Bilbao defender Aymeric Laporte has been linked with a move to Barcelona for quite some time and the deal could go through in the summer, have revealed.
The Catalans have identified the 21-year-old France defender as their top target and will be making a move in the summer transfer window as they look to revamp their backline.
Despite his tender age, Aymeric Laporte has developed into a key figure for Athletic Bilbao since 2012, playing over 100 La Liga matches since his debut for the Basque side.
His impressive and commanding appearances have caught the attention of a number of Europe’s top clubs such as Manchester United, who were thought to be interested in young defender, but Barcelona seem to be keen on making a first move in order to beat the c…
With Antonio Conte set to step into the Chelsea hot seat, former manager Luiz Felipe Scolari warned the Italian that not even being the best coach on the planet can prepare you for life at Stamford Bridge.
Departing Italy coach Conte will manage Chelsea next season following the conclusion of Euro 2016 in July, as interim boss Guus Hiddink steps aside after Jose Mourinho left the Premier League club in December.
Conte moves to London with considerable pedigree as a three-time Serie A-winning coach at Juventus.
However Scolari, who guided Brazil to glory at the 2002 World Cup but lasted just 36 games in charge of Chelsea following his appointment in 2008, insisted all that counts for nothing under demanding owner Roman Abramovich.
You can win the World Cu…

According to reports coming from several sources, Villa are now interested in signing Yves Bissouma from Brighton and Hove Albion.
