It's performance time for England, the "number one Internet celebrity team" of the European Cup. 2-1, England eliminated Slovakia and reached the last 8 of the European Championship. After playing poorly and still reaching the top 8, England Southgate explained what it means to be tough: a tie at 94 minutes and 33 seconds, winning in extra time, and at least the top 8 in four consecutive tournaments. How to objectively evaluate Southgate is really a problem......

In this European Cup, England, with a total value of 1.5 billion euros, is extremely disappointing. Sitting on the Premier League MVP Foden, La Liga MVP Bellingham, and the European Golden Boot Kane, the style of play is very ugly, with 3 group stage strokes, no tactical highlights, no fighting spirit, and is not worthy of the identity of the favorite to win the championship.

In the 1/8 final against Slovakia, England still did not change. Walker on the right was burst by Haraslin, Kieran Trippier on the left could not cross, central striker Kane was slow and relaxed, Foden and Bellingham lacked speed and passion...... England are getting worse and worse the more they play.

In the 25th minute, England also conceded the first goal. A simple long pass from the Slovak backfield tore through the England defence. The attack in the front court is weak, and the back field cannot be defended, and England is ashamed of the fans.

After falling behind 0-1, England still did not wake up, passing the ball slowly, walking in a walking position, not interspersed with running, and not having the determination to let go. England kept passing back, crossing, and putting on a bad attitude, which was constantly booed by the fans!

I have to sigh that England coach Southgate is hard enough. Seeing that he was about to be out, in the 95th minute, Bellingham came with a shocking backhook to equalize for England. Bellingham, who was in the slump throughout the game, saved England in an instant.

Going into extra time, Kane's header in the 52nd second turned the tide for England.

England came back from a desperate 2-1 win to reach the last eight. How do you rate England manager Gareth Southgate? This made it difficult for the British media - judging by the spectacle, England was disappointing, Southgate had a good hand in hand, but played poorly. However, Southgate's insistence on Bellingham and Kane, although they have been in a slump for a long time, have become heroes who have turned the tide.

For Southgate, there has been mixed reviews. However, everyone admits one fact: Southgate's life is hard enough - and the whole life can also make a "desperate reversal".

In the 94th minute, England was still 0-1 down. Gareth Southgate makes a third substitution: Ivan Toney removes Foden. The fans were outraged: With less than 2 minutes left in the game, do you think Ivan Toney is a god? Besides, England need to attack against time, so wouldn't it be a waste of time to make substitutions?

When the outside world frantically questioned Southgate, a slap in the face miracle appeared. Substitutions in the 94th minute, Bellingham equalized in the 95th minute, Kane overtook in 52 seconds of extra time - Southgate replaced Palmer, Eze, and Ivan Toney, all of whom became the heroes of the reversal. The substitution was late, but the miracle was not absent.

Stumbling along the way, Southgate also wrote history:

In 4 consecutive tournaments, England has reached at least the top 8! 4th place in the 2018 World Cup, runner-up in Euro 2020, top 8 in the 2022 World Cup, and top 8 in Euro 2024. Since England participated in the tournament in 1950, Southgate is the first coach to lead the team to at least the top 8 in 4 consecutive tournaments, creating a history of 74 years!
