Former England national team coach Fabio Capello often shows interest in the affairs of his former team.
According to the Italian, he has analyzed the current team and identified a weak spot that could cost them future European Championship gold medals.
According to the specialist, it is the center-backs and the goalkeeper.
"I like the England national team. Their team has top-class defenders and forwards, such as Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, and Bukayo Saka.
However, problems arise when defending. English center-backs are weak and lag behind their teammates in terms of skill. I seriously doubt goalkeeper Jordan Pickford as well. Sometimes he plays well, but overall, the team's defenders need to trust their goalkeeper.
I watched J. Pickford in the "Euro 2020" final and he just tried to kick the ball far away. Why didn't he want to play passes to closer teammates?" - said the coach.
According to F. Capello, in decisive matches, the English team may also struggle psychologically.
"When the moment comes to play for the ultimate victory, fear creeps in among the team.
As you approach an important trophy, something seems to be missing. Fear freezes the team, and this often happens with the England national team. After all, their history is marked by failures and that 'monkey' constantly sits on their backs.
For example, my team confidently played in the qualifying tournament and won many matches, but when we arrived in South Africa in 2010, we saw a completely different team at the World Cup.
Of course, the factor of fatigue should not be ruled out, as the season was very long and the players played many matches."
