On Tuesday, the England national team suffered a very painful defeat in the UEFA Nations League tournament. The "Three Lions" team lost 0:4 at home to Hungary and experienced the most painful home defeat since 1928. During the match, the team's coach Gareth Southgate faced chants from disappointed fans, and the players were booed. After the game, the England national team's strategist did not shy away from responsibility but asked the fans to stay with the team. "For these matches, we chose a fairly young lineup, and when the game started slipping away from us, it felt very clear on the field. Ultimately, the responsibility falls on my shoulders. I always told the players that the last four matches are my responsibility. We had to use a significant rotation to prevent the players from getting tired. Our young players gained a lot of valuable experience. Hungary is a great team, and I wanted too much from our players. I understand such a passionate reaction, but I want to emphasize that all these players have given everything for this team in recent weeks. Fans must stay with the team. It is very important to experience such evenings, but I will not say that such a result does not hurt," - G. Southgate told "Channel 4".
