EURO 2024Southgate says England prepared for penalties
Posted Sunday, December 04, 2022 by Tribalfootball.com
England coach Gareth Southgate says they've prepared for penalties ahead of facing Senegal in the World Cup round of 16.
At this stage four years ago England won their first-ever World Cup penalty shootout to beat Colombia and advance to the quarter-finals.
Their latest shootout, though, ended in defeat - an agonising loss to Italy in the final of the European Championship at Wembley last year.
Southgate says the squad have been focusing on their spot-kicks in training.
"We were not moving far from what we did, but there are some things we thought we could nail down even tighter and we have been working on that for a while," he said.
"There is a balance of not making that a bigger drama than it needs to be but, at the same time, making sure we are prepared."
