Jadon Sancho’s Good Record Has No Effect on Gareth Southgate

DBasia.news – Jadon Sancho made one of his best spells in the 2020-2021 season with Borussia Dortmund. Unfortunately, the record has no effect on the confidence of the England coach, Gareth Southgate.

The England national team experienced ups and downs at Euro 2020. After winning the first meeting against Croatia, the Three Lions were held by Scotland without a goal.

One of the homework England need to improve is a dull front line. England seem to rely too much on Harry Kane to score goals. Unfortunately, the Tottenham Hotspur striker has not shown the appearance he wanted.

Of the two games, England only packed 17 opportunities. Meanwhile, the only goal England have scored so far has been from Raheem Sterling.

In fact, England have players with great attacking power like Jadon Sancho. However, the player who has been linked with Manchester United has only warmed up the bench in the previous two games.

Statistics say, Sancho has played impressively this season at Dortmund. He recorded 16 goals and 20 assists in just 38 games.

Not surprisingly, criticism began to be leveled at Gareth Southgate. The coach seemed to turn a blind eye to the appearance of Sancho. In fact, Sancho has the capital to make England out of the deadlock.

“England have Sancho on the bench who scored 16 goals plus 20 assists in the 2020-2021 season with Borussia Dortmund. In fact, he was not played when England struggled to create chances,” said former England striker Ia Wright, as reported by the Mirror.

“We can discuss whether Kane is good enough to create chances. England are the favorites in this tournament. However, I’m embarrassed to say.”

Next, England will face the Czech Republic in the final match of Group D. The three points will ensure England qualify for the round of 16.
