Gareth Southgate Must Once Again Remind England Stars Of Their Responsibilities
The Manchester United’s Captin was found guilty of aggravated assault, resisting arrest and the attempted bribery of police officer hours after being included in Southgate squad.
Football was placed in a privileged position by the government, the premier league playing a starring role in the response to the Coronavirus outbreak.
Gareth Southgate has warnedhis England stars to appreciate what it means to represent their country after he dropped Mason Greenwood and Phil Forden to send a “ message following their last month”.
Manchester United forward Greenwood and Manchester city midfielder Foden were sent home after breaching Coronavirus regulations.
Southgate left the youngsters at his squad for the forthcoming friendly against Wales and Nations league matches with Belgium and Denmark.
Southgate revealed he had already told both players they would not be included this time around before they left Iceland last month.
The England boss also said he will talk to his 30 strong squad ahead of the upcoming game about the importance of the upcoming game about the importance of representing the country when called on to do so.
“What we found in the last camp was lots of new players coming in,” he said.
“So I think that maybe as a reminder when you have got lots of new players that you have to be a little more… not assuming that people are going to understand how you work and pick it up from the rest of the group.
“But I think always you have to work at culture. It never is embedded forever. It’s constantly evolving. The team group is constantly evolving, as players come and go.
“So you have always got to keep affecting that, keep addressing that and we will discuss the shirt, what it means to wear the shirt and some reminders on how we work – but that’s not a case of reading the riot act.
“That’s a case of asking the players what sort of team they want to be involved in.”
