Bukayo Saka opened up about 'Left Wingback Yong-seol ' England were the strongest contenders for Euro 2024. Superstars such as Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Declan Rice were lined up. The prevailing view was that it would be possible to win the Euro for the first time in history. But when I opened the lid, I was looking forward to it. England, who are in Group C, advanced to the round of 16 at the top of the group, but were criticized for their 'no fun' performance. He scored only two goals in three games and remained one win and two draws.
I have to show my changed form in the tournament, but the biggest concern is the left. Manager Gareth Southgate used right wing-back Kieran Trippier on the left throughout the group stage due to Luke Shaw's slow recovery. The performance was not very good, but it was an inevitable choice. But even such Trippier fell down with injuries. For England, a new alternative is needed.
Then what came to mind was Saka's use of left wingback. Arsenal legend striker Ian Wright has drawn more attention by publicly claiming it. Wright claimed that if Saka was used as a left wingback, he could use Cole Palmer sitting on the bench at the same time. Palmer showed remarkable scoring ability last season and also did his part in the recent England match. Saka was originally the position the wingback saw.
But Saka thought differently. In an interview with the BBC on the 29th (Korea time), Saka said "I like Wright. He said a lot of good things about me. But I don't think using me as a left wing-back is the solution. "But in the end, it's in the manager's hands to use the player. "I'm going to trust him no matter who coach Southgate chooses." Saka has recently played on the right wing for both Arsenal and England. Saka is "It's easier on the right. It's good to be able to go inside and shoot with the strongest foot. "
