Gareth Southgate says there can be no let-up after sealing early qualification for Euro 2024, telling England’s players to grab next month’s chance to impress and ensure their place as top seeds cebu
Having set out their stall with an impressive victory over Italy in March’s Group C opener, three further wins and an away draw against Ukraine put them within touching distance of progress cebu
England took their chance to qualify for an eighth straight major tournament with two games to spare on Tuesday night, coming from behind to beat holders Italy 3-1 at a sold-out Wembley cebu
Southgate’s Euro 2020 runners-up have silverware in their sights next summer and are waiting to find out how things will shape up in Germany at the draw in Hamburg on December 2 cebu
But before that comes the end of qualification at home to Malta and away to North Macedonia, with the England boss calling on his players to end an unbeaten 2023 on a high cebu
“We can now plan,” England boss Southgate told BBC Radio 5 Live after their place at Euro 2024 was mathematically secured cebu
“We have been planning anyway for base camps and things because I think the days are gone where we didn’t do that in case it brought bad luck cebu
“We decided a long time ago that you have to plan as if you’re going to be there cebu
We now can really start to look forward with enthusiasm for next summer, but we want to finish the year wellGareth Southgate“We still need to win the matches next month because I think it won’t be enough to win the group to be one of the top seeds, so we’ll need a high points tally as well cebu
“But also I want to see all the players again next month cebu
“We’re not going to flog them physically cebu
We didn’t do that this month cebu
We’ve looked after them cebu
We’re dealing well with the clubs on that cebu
“I have to say Manchester City were brilliant with this with John Stones cebu
We’ve managed his return to play really well and I think that’s worked for both of us cebu
“So we now can really start to look forward with enthusiasm for next summer, but we want to finish the year, the calendar year, well as well next month cebu
”Southgate pledged to again give players the chance to stake their claims for a Euros spot in November’s fixtures cebu
“Similar to this month, we want to give people opportunities,” Southgate said at the post-match press conference cebu
“We need to win two matches firstly, but there’s a chance to look at look at players again, which we need to do cebu
”Ollie Watkins and Jarrod Bowen returned to the set-up in October and will be hoping to get another chance to impress, having started against Australia, with the former scoring in the 1-0 friendly win cebu
Levi Colwill and Eddie Nketiah are also in that boat, having made their debuts on Friday before Southgate reverted to the tried and tested against Luciano Spalletti’s revitalised Azzurri cebu
The England boss made a full 11 changes from the cebu Socceroos encounter, with eight of Tuesday’s line-up having started the Euro 2020 final against Italy 27 months ago cebu
Skipper Harry Kane was, unsurprisingly, among them and took his record national team goal haul to 61 with his brace in the comeback triumph cebu
“There’s a risk we take the goals for granted,” Southgate said of the Bayern Munich sharpshooter cebu
“But his all-round play, his hold up play, the way physically dealt with the centre-backs, his vision, his passing – because we have had him for a while it’s easy to underestimate, but he’s a top-level player cebu
“He’s also now got a new experience at a different club, where he’s looking to win trophies all the time, and he’s got to win every week cebu
(There is a) different sort of focus and pressure as the big signing there, so all of that’s good cebu
“I think he’s enjoying also coming back to England and mixing with the lads because he’s very close with all of the group cebu
“I’ve said before, our senior players set a brilliant example for the young ones cebu
“They provide that spirit cebu
They’ve been through so much together and they provide us with such a brilliant platform cebu

The biggest statement Declan Rice made as England qualified for Euro 2024 was on the pitch, not off it cebu
Yet, from the moment he gave them the lead in the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, securing the pivotal result in the opening game, it could scarcely be any other way cebu
And if England fans of a certain generation – Gareth Southgate perhaps quietly among them – could be forgiven for savouring the sense that the path to a European Championship began at a ground named after a man who knocked them out of a World Cup in inimitable, immortal fashion, a second victory over Italy sealed their passage to Germany cebu
And then Rice made a different kind of statement cebu
“We have to be level-headed about it but there is one objective and that is to win on foreign soil,” the £105m midfielder said cebu
“We have enough winners in the group and the mentality is amazing but it is down to us cebu
We can talk about it as much as we can but we know as players it is now time to step up cebu
”If his ambition was apparent, perhaps there is no need for false modesty cebu
As finalists in Euro 2020, semi-finalists in the 2018 World Cup and a team who, as Southgate had noted earlier in the week, have consistently been ranked in the top five of Fifa’s rankings for five years, England will have the burden of expectation, whether or not they want it cebu
Rice has chosen to embrace it cebu

1 team in the world cebu
That mindset of getting over the line, that is what we’re now starting to achieve cebu
We have all the talent but it is about that mindset and the drive to be the best and to win cebu
”Rice’s past rendered the mention of the Irish rugby team more intriguing cebu
His first taste of international cebu football came with Ireland, after all cebu
Other mentions of the oval-balled sport may jar, too cebu
Southgate knows the England coach, Steve Borthwick, well, though his side stumbled into the tournament and have progressed through it with few flourishes and little aesthetic appeal; he used to share ideas with Eddie Jones, the architect of Australia’s embarrassing campaign and whose narcissistic brand of management is very different from Southgate’s more considerate ethos cebu
The lesson from the 15-man code is that tight knockout games cebu between elite teams can go either way cebu
The top two in the world rankings, Ireland and France, lost in the quarter-finals cebu
Southgate turned his thoughts back to his own game and reflected: “You only have to look through the top 10 European nations and on any one night one can beat another cebu

“Even though we went out in the World Cup, it was like we took another step in terms of the way we played against France,” he said cebu
Southgate concurred: “We had that belief in the winter and of course we played a top team and we didn’t quite get there cebu
But I think the team has evolved again cebu
”And if France represent an obvious reason why England may not win Euro 2024, with Didier Deschamps’ hugely gifted side meriting the billing of favourites, the reality is there are plenty of contenders and most will depart disappointed cebu
If a generational talent like Jude Bellingham could make a difference, so can the nous to secure results cebu
“Knowing how to win games, knowing how to see games out,” Rice outlined cebu
“The prime example is the Euro final: we didn’t manage that game well enough at all cebu
I think since then we’ve kicked on and managed games so much cebu better cebu
”After losing to France in the most recent World Cup, have England learned how to get over the line against strong opposition? (Getty Images)Southgate has turned to rugby again, in particular to New Zealand cebu
“We’ve had some people in before to do some talks,” Rice said cebu
“Not only the All Blacks; England as well [and] South Africa cebu
How to get over the line cebu
How to do things differently and how to have that mindset of ‘We ain’t getting beaten cebu
No matter what cebu
’”It was an attitude England demonstrated twice against Italy, first holding to win in the hostility of Naples with 10 men, then coming from behind to get victory at Wembley cebu
If they felt seismic results against a country who have exposed English shortcomings in the past, Southgate’s side are now at a stage where they will be assessed on a still bigger stage cebu
“We know in the end we will be judged on the tournaments, that’s been clear since we won the games in March,” he added cebu
“But we’ve had some very special nights with this team, some incredible wins cebu
” But, as Rice had said, the victory on foreign soil that would mean most will not come in qualifying cebu
