In his latest personal column, England soccer's legendary shot-stopper Alan Shearer has praised interim boss Southgate's successor, Carsley, for his impressive results in charge during the international day. Shearer singled out England's positive outlook in the two matches, as well as their excellent performances against Ireland and Finland, and believes that Carsley has succeeded in his initial task.
Shearer was full of praise for Casley's tactical setup, especially the role he found for Arnold. Known for his accurate long passes when he was at Liverpool, Arnold was a fish out of water in Casley's tactical system, delivering many threatening passes and becoming a key weapon in England's attacking end. Shearer emphasized that Arnold's talent should not be buried, and his performance in the England team proved it.
In addition, Shearer commented on the excellent play of Gralish. Under Cassley's tactical system, Gralish was given more freedom and was able to fully utilize his creativity and technical characteristics. Shearer believes that if Gralish can get stable playing opportunities at Manchester City, he will become an indispensable member of the England team.
Shearer is optimistic about Casley's future. He believes that Casley has earned the trust of the players and fans through the two games, and if he can continue to maintain this momentum, it is likely that he will be formally appointed as the head coach of the England team. Shearer also mentioned Kane's excellent performance, believing that he is still the most trustworthy striker of the England team, and expects him to continue to contribute goals and assists to the team in the future.
Speaking about Rice's behavior of not celebrating after scoring against Ireland, Shearer expressed his opinion. He believes that goal celebrations are one of the ways in which players express their joy and respect for their opponents, but that everyone has the right to choose their own way of celebrating. Personally, Shearer prefers a passionate celebration like Gralish's, but also respects Rice's choice.
