Southgate's pre-final statement with Denmark: These are lifetime matches

For the coach of three lions, his team has a very special opportunity to make the nation happy in facing the Nordics. The exclusive 4-0 victory over Ukraine in Rome on Saturday enabled the Southgate team to advance among the top 4 in the tournament. They now return to Embley, where they last appeared for the last semifinal of a European man 25 years ago.

England's <x0.0nd influences unite families and communities. Your chance when you play for England to bless and create great evenings for our fans, for our nation, is very special. These are the matches that are remembered for the rest of your life, and you feel the appreciation people have for players and football players, that's something that they should really be proud of.”

A victory for England on Wednesday would enable them to reach the final of a grand tour for the first time since they won the 1966 World Cup. Asked what it meant to reach the Southgate finals answered.

“actually, what it means for the whole nation. If you're a coach, it's kind of like being a parent, you leave your moments behind because you think about what you can transmit to the others.

Southgate added that the experience they had arriving at the 2018 World Cup semifinals in Russia could help his camp go further this time.

We're better prepared for semifinals than in the past. Although this does not determine victory or defeat in a football match, there are many factors we are aware of and we have faced to prepare better. For example, after the match in Rome, we celebrated in full measure, while in Russia the first match with direct elimination and the quarterfinals received much emotional energy. In Rome everything was pretty quiet about what was going on, because we knew we hadn't yet achieved what we wanted, and these are things to prepare for a match like this”.
