England's journey at the European Championship has seen a shift in the team's mindset as they prepare to face the Netherlands in the semifinals. Coach Gareth Southgate noted a change in the squad's mood, with a decrease in pressure as they progress further in the tournament.
Despite the higher stakes of reaching the semifinals and being one win away from back-to-back European Championship finals, Southgate highlighted that the pressure and external noise were more intense earlier in the competition. England faced challenges in the group stage and needed late goals and a penalty shootout to advance in the knockout rounds.
