In the electrifying "Wembley" stadium yesterday, a derby took place between two eternal rivals - the teams of England and Scotland. True - it ended in a draw, adding 1 point to each team's tournament account. England's national team head coach Gareth Southgate commented after the match: "Our fans have the right to react to our performance as they want. We are disappointed with our performance, we hoped to beat Scotland. It was very difficult to create space for attacks - Scotland defended very well and it was hard to find ways towards the goal. Also, we lacked courage and good decision-making." He continued: "I felt that we lacked energy, so I made substitutions. The decisions were timely, reacting to the situation on the field. We did not create many opportunities for goals and the reasons for that will need to be analyzed in the coming days." "We know that our level of play was not what we would have liked. As a coach, I understand that perfectly. Our team is very young. We have players who have never experienced such intensity and pressure during a match. I know that our youth will bounce back, but we need to support them." "These matches - they are a great life lesson for them. A lesson that we need to be better, and it starts with me," added the coach.
