Since Sherwood’s been both a player and manager at big clubs like Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa he knows what he’s talking about. His experience dealing with Premier League pressure is kinda like what the national team is going through now.
How England’s National Team is Looking Now
Ever since Gareth Southgate took over back in 2016 England’s done pretty good getting to the semis in the 2018 World Cup and almost winning Euro 2020. Now with another World Cup coming up there’s pressure to actually win something instead of just getting close. England’s got big players like Harry Kane Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho who everyone thinks should help them win it all.
The way the Premier League is so tough where lots of England players play really helps make the team better. Looking at the Premier League overview shows how much the league helps national team players get better and play well.
What’s Going on in the Premier League
The Premier League is still super competitive which affects how the national team works. Recent stuff like the keeper mistakes in the Man United vs Tottenham game shows how hard it is for players to stay in good form. Also the whole thing with Liverpool trying to win the title and United having problems shows how intense the league is where England’s players get better at football.
What Sherwood said is like telling England they need to use how good they’ve been lately to finally win something big internationally. Everyone who loves football is waiting to see if Southgate’s team can actually do what everyone thinks they should on the biggest stage.
