Football: Southgate urges England to seize Euro 2020 'opportunity'

Share this contentLONDON: Gareth Southgate has warned his England players not to rest on their laurels as they aim to reach the Euro 2020 semi-finals with a victory against Ukraine on Saturday .

"Right from the final whistle the other day, the players were already talking about the next game and preparing for it," Southgate told reporters on Friday. Only expats based in Italy will be able to support England in the stadium as coronavirus restrictions stopped the Football Association selling tickets to fans in Britain.

"It doesn't matter too much to us. You need good leaders in that situation and we have plenty of them."One concern about England's trip to Italy -- their first match away from Wembley in the tournament -- is the potentially stifling heat. Raheem Sterling has scored three of England's four goals, while Jack Grealish played a key role in the Germany win after coming off the bench.
