Gareth Southgate

So I then was thinking back, because we then got a decision on do we stick with the process for our next penalty shootout or do we change it?

And that discussion around the decision you made with the evidence and information you had at the time, do you still think that was right?

That did affect my thinking moving forward because there was a risk of ripping everything up that had succeeded against Columbia, had succeeded against Switzerland in a Nations League game, but we've lost one now.

So are we going to stick with it or are we going to change?

And

we slightly refined, you know, one of the things we actually, we practiced a little bit less.

So I think one of the things in 2021, Marcus had almost practiced too many times.

He was trying to be too perfect in practice because the goalkeepers had started to read where he'd go.

So if you look at the penalty he takes in that final, he takes way longer than

ever before now normally people talk about rushed penalty ticks not taking long enough over the penalty he actually takes longer now he might feel differently about that but my sense was and I said to him

months later, I think because he'd been practicing against goalkeepers in training too often, he was trying to be too perfect.

So he's looking for the right in that stanchion area and hits the post.

Okay, we're going to take fewer penalties next time.

There's more pressure on each one.

You can only have three, not eight, because actually they lose focus.

And we're going to take an extra goalkeeper so that you're not facing the same goalkeeper every time as well.

So...

Yeah, of course, we win the shootout.

So is everything right?

I don't know.
