Fifa World Cup: England have potential for much more, says proud Gareth Southgate
Southgate says there is the potential for much more from his young team
Southgate said that although England had made history in the manner in which they had progressed to the last-four, there was the potential for much more.
“We have to keep improving as a team, this team is nowhere near the level they are going to be capable of, partly because of their age and partly because over the next few years with us and with their clubs, they are going to have more and more big match experience,” he said
“We are excited about the future but also we want to make the most of the opportunity we have tomorrow as well.”
Southgate said England’s dramatic improvement since Euro 2016, which ended with a humiliating defeat by Iceland in the last-16, was down to the FA’s backing.
“We’ve got good support for the players and we’ve planned really well, watching hundreds of matches and learning as much as we possibly can and we are starting to see through the age groups some success because of that,” he said,
