A group of top Premier League players came together to play a game worthy of the Championship, and the turtle shrank into an ugly draw; England have proven once again that they never disappoint when it comes to disappointment!

And the responsibility for this draw should obviously be their manager Gareth Southgate.

On paper, England is second only to France out of 24 teams. Except for Guehi, who played left central defender, who was a little less famous, the other starters were big names. It is precisely because the England team's lineup is so luxurious that players like Palmer, who are 25+15 in a single season, can only come in and watch the water cooler.

How to use this good card well, in fact, it is more of a test of the coach's skills; So it's clear that with England's cards getting more and more luxurious, Southgate, who emphasizes mental motivation, is a bit out of his game.

This group of princes on the field in England, the main force of this group of major giants, basically play their own games, and the cooperation between each other seems very stiff, just like 11 temporary pull-ins to play wild ball, and the offense depends on the personal ability of the frontcourt players.

But it was such a haphazard team that opened the scoring through a chance that was not a chance.

Kane probably never imagined that he would be able to get off his feet unmarked on the edge of the six-yard box. And before Schmeichel Jr. lost the ball, he didn't think about how his teammates were possessed by Liu Yang.

As soon as this goal was scored, England began to repeat the game pattern against Serbia; After that, the performance of the England team can be summed up in one sentence - what kind of stuff they played!

After the goal, England were all in full force; According to Southgate's assumption, as long as the England team breaks the ball at the back, Saka and Bellingham can rush behind Denmark's three tall and slow central defenders; But it is clear that England completely underestimated the Danish team's ability.

Although the Danish team as a whole is tall and big, compared to those rough brothers in Serbia, the Danish team at least has the ability to play a passing and cutting coordination. Compared to Serbia's brainless side of Walker, Denmark's direction of attack is clear, that is, to play Trippier's side. Because Bukayo Saka is much more aggressive in defending than Foden, they will have to face at least two defenders on the right side of England, and when attacking England on the left is likely to be against one man, they have identified Kieran Trippier's side as more likely to have problems.

And it turned out to be exactly what the Danes had planned.

Since the princes of England's midfield do not do dirty work, this has led to the England team, which has retreated across the line, and completely put the defensive burden on Rice and a few defenders. and to sweep, intercept, and occupy defensive positions to protect the double central defenders, which leads to Rice alone not being able to cover it at all; So even though everyone knew that Denmark would focus on attacking Kieran Trippier's side, Rice couldn't make up for it frequently, and could only watch the opponent calmly cross from the right and rush directly into the penalty area on the right flank.

When England's left side of the defensive area continued to be tight, Bellingham, who once had a limited presence in attack, made a rare few exits in the first half.

After the left side of the defense was torn open by the opponent many times, the England team also became more conservative, trying to plug the gap in the left rib by retreating deeply and piling up people in the backfield; But it was precisely the turtle that shrank too far back, which led to the heavy artillery of Yulmande outside the penalty area, without any interference.

From the equaliser to half-time, England's performance did not improve. The only chance to counter-attack ended with Kane running and Foden choosing to shoot a wave. It wasn't until the second half that England's scene improved.

With Conor Gallagher on the pitch, England finally have two players in midfield who can do the dirty work. When Conor Gallagher kept sweeping in midfield, Rice could calmly plug the gap on the left side of the defense, and the Dane's vigorous attack on the right in the first half was almost invisible in the second half.

But with the defence steady, has England's attack improved? Not at all! Whether it was Foden's long-range shot hitting the post or Watkins' shot from a tight angle against offside, it was all based on the player's individual inspiration.

Vision Plan A didn't work, South Gate chose to start Plan B, and the front trident was replaced. This is actually telling the world that on the question of whether it should be around Kane or Bellingham, his choice is Bellingham. It's just that Bellingham was in a battle with the Danish midfielder, and his performance in this game was extremely bad; In addition to delivering a precise through ball, he was either stealthy or mistaken for most of the game.

Around a player who is in very bad shape, always playing stealth and mistakes, the chain reaction is that in fact, after the substitution, England's offensive threat is not as good as before the substitution, so that the on-site director gave the camera to Palmer, who was sitting on the field, after a long pass from the England team to the bottom line. And this lens language also represents the question of the whole world - why not go to Palmer when Kane is replaced and Bellingham is in a slump?

But in fact, Southgate has already given us the answer through on-the-spot adjustments - Palmer is not in the main framework of his team at all. Palmer's main role in the England team is to act as a sparring partner! The performance in Serbia is not ideal, but it still continues the starting 11 in the last game, which can also show that the stubborn South Gate will not make changes easily, I am afraid that Palmer will not have any chance in this European Cup.

And such a card should be the favorite to win the championship, but the combination is like a loose team; Do you think they'll make it to the end?
