DBasia.news – England national team coach, Gareth Southgate, is predicted to play Mason Mount compared to Bukayo Saka in the match against Germany. In fact, Saka appeared impressive in the previous match.
England will face a tough match against Germany in the round of 16 of the 2020 Europa League. Although they will appear at Wembley, some predict that England will have difficulty beating Germany.
Therefore, Gareth Southgate needs to be good at formulating strategies. One of the dilemmas is choosing Mason Mount or Bukayo Saka. Because, according to the Mail On Sunday report, Mount has been able to return to appear after previously having to be isolated because he had contact with a player who was exposed to the corona virus, Billy Gilmour.
In addition, Saka is increasingly difficult to penetrate the starting line-up because Phil Foden is ready to return to action. The Manchester City player was saved in the match against the Czech Republic because he already got one yellow card.
However, a different view was expressed by former England defender Micah Richards. He argued that Bukayo Saka should not be thrown from the first 11 players.
“I think he learned a lot about the next game. Because of the way he played, Saka couldn’t be sent off. He was absolutely incredible,” explained Richards.
“He is very useful so he can play in many positions. Sometimes players are afraid to push themselves and play passes. However, he is not afraid. Saka is only 19 years old, but looks like an experienced player.”
“He runs from behind. That’s what is needed when Kane is far away. He can also appear defensive because he is used to playing as a wing-back,” the former Manchester City player said.
