In this year's European Cup, England went all the way through the final match, although the leader of the team Shuufki's "quiet tactics" attracted criticism, however, his unique way of motivation has repeatedly helped England to overcome the dangers. Even in three consecutive knockout games once behind, and finally in a fierce loss, England with two substitutes of the magical play, successful reversal, the history of the fourth time to break into the final of the international competition. It is worth noting that England has only reached the final three times in its history, and Shoebridge has been England's greatest coach in two of them.
In the knockout stage, England was on the verge of extinction many times, but Shoufky always managed to save the team with his miraculous substitutions. In the critical moment against Slovakia, it was he who replaced Ayrtony in the extra time, making the team quickly equalize the score; and against Switzerland, in the last 8 minutes of the game, Shoufki decisively replaced Halikani and three teammates, in just 2 minutes, Golpenma and Onitsukjens came on the field one after the other, of which Onitsukjens even assisted in a goal.
Although Shovki's substitution decisions have been questioned, he explained confidently after the game, "The key was that every player was ready to fight. At the time I think the team was demoralized and Halikani was injured. Onitsukanse was as solid as a wedge. I thought, why not give him a chance? Onitsukjens got into the wave. I'm very happy about that." Onitsukjens and Galpenma each became the first substitutes in the history of the Europa League knockout stages to finish with a goal and an assist in 90 minutes.
Prior to his appointment in 2016, England had only reached an international final once (1966 World Cup), but Shoevski outdid all the marquee names by guiding England to two consecutive Euro finals. Speaking about playing a final away from home for the first time, Shoevki said, "I think it's a great honor to play a final away from home. The game will be exceptionally tough if we have to beat Spain, this year's best Euro team, at home."
