4 Key Players of England Era Gareth Southgate

The England national team under the control of Gareth Southgate continues to change the composition of the players. Many young players have been called up. However, four players certainly have a place in the Three Lions team.
Southgate began managing England in September 2016. Before joining the senior team, a 49-year-old man had been the manager of the British national team in the under 21 and 23 age group.

Southgate's trip received a lot of praise when he made it to the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup. At that time, Southgate was very dependent on young players to strengthen its troops.

Two years after the 2018 World Cup, Southgate continued to land on the English team. However, so far, four players have always been the mainstay of Southgate. Only who? See below, Bolaneters.

As a goalkeeper, Gareth Southgate already has a definite name. Jordan Pickford has always been the first choice. Everton goalkeeper position has not been replaced since the 2018 World Cup.

Although Pickford's club performance was not always good, he remained first choice. Pickford has always been the first choice in the Southgate era.

In front of Pickford, there was a name Southgate always chose. This is Harry Maguire. The 26-year-old defender is still playing. Southgate only rotates the only supporting players.

Southgate's decision to choose Harry Maguire as the mainstay of the last line is quite right. Because it has been consistent for the last two seasons. He also made an important step by moving to Manchester United.

Raheem Sterling has been widely criticized by fans of the English national team. Because he performed well in Manchester City, but not in the English national team. However, he continues to be Gareth Southgate's choice.

Sterling has a starving goal in the English national team in 27 consecutive matches. However, in the last three qualifying matches for Euro 2020, Sterling scored five goals for England.

Harry Kane is another British pillar from the Southgate era. The Tottenham player is England's top scorer. His role is more vital because he is also the team captain.

In addition, Kane is also known as a hard worker. This is considered an ideal example for young players in England.
