They are as good as anyone else, claims Gareth Southgate about England’s frontline
England's national team coach Gareth Southgate said that the team’s frontline is as exciting as any team in the world. England scored four times past Bulgaria, without any reply, with captain Harry Kane scoring a hat trick while Raheem Sterling also netted a goal for the three lions.
The England national team has no dearth in attacking talent and started the match with Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling and Tottenham Hotspurs’ Harry Kane leading from the front. Borussia Dortmund’s explosive winger Jadon Sancho also came off the bench during the victory.
Speaking about the strength of the team and the forwards in the post-match conference, the BBC reports that Gareth Southgate said, “We're in a healthy position. They're as exciting as anything. I remember going to Spain [in October 2018] and thinking: 'Well, a really tough game.' But, actually, you look at our front three and their front three on the night and I felt that we were strong. We've got Sancho and Callum Hudson-Odoi who are going to push - and really push."
Southgate was also asked if he thought that his forward line up can be amongst the best, and he replied with, “They have great humility. I think they possibly don't, because they sometimes don't view themselves as others do. Whenever we're judging games, all of us look at what hasn't gone well and sometimes we can overlook the brilliant things they do that maybe other countries don't have."
The Three Lions are currently on the top of their group for the Euro 2020 qualifiers and will face Kosovo, who are a point below them, on Tuesday at St. Mary’s Park.
