Gareth Southgate has insisted England are ready to make the whole nation “proud” with a fearless, attacking performance against France.
Southgate says he does not want his players to go out and “just cover up on the ropes” and instead wants them attack the world champions with all guns blazing. England boss Southgate has seen his team score 12 goals in their first four games and he says he does not want to change that mentality and it will be a night for heroes.
When asked in an interview with ITV whether he wants the attacking approach maintained, Southgate said: “Yeah without a doubt. There is no point going into a game like this and just covering up and sitting on the ropes. We believe we can cause problems with the ball and we intend to do that.
