England was proudly held as a success in empathy and unity, but Ben White has helped prove Gareth Southgate and his team are no longer fit for purpose.
In December 2018, Gareth Southgate explained the most admirable and striking aspect of his coaching philosophy: understanding, compassion and unity.
Four years later, his trusted assistant suggested, mid-tournament, that a member of his World Cup squad ‘was not sufficiently interested in football’ because they could not answer a question to their specific satisfaction. Steve Holland is not the first to wilfully misinterpret something which was said three years ago and has been laboriously explained since, but it is disheartening to see a set-up justifiably hailed for its focus on togetherness, solidarity and awareness fall into those tired old traps.
That infantile reaction was to be expected from rival supporters hoping to score points on social media, but England’s assistant manager espousing the same nonsense – in front of his teammates – is yet another dent in this coaching team’s previously impervious armour. It is a failure in man-management from a regime who once harnessed that so brilliantly as their main strength.
