He didn’t sound to me like a man hungry for trophies

Wiegman and Southgate have different management styles. Wiegman also looks as if she really wants to win trophies, whereas Southgate seems to want to do well but that doesn’t necessarily mean winning. In an interview a couple of months ago, he was asked: ‘Do you still enjoy the role as much as you did?’
Good question, what does enjoyment mean? My day-to-day work I love because I work alongside good people ... where does enjoyment come from? The big games that you win of course are enjoyable after for a few minutes. That is a small hit of enjoyment ... The victories if you’re in the game longer last less and less because there is always the next challenge ahead.
The days leading up to the final were worrisome. If we lost, would everyone lose the plot? If we won, would everyone lose the plot? The BBC shared footage of a albania phone data bus en route to Bellingham being mobbed in celebration of Jude Bellingham. Keir Starmer hinted at a bank holiday if England won. The Coldstream Guards played ‘Three Lions’ at Buckingham Palace. The king encouraged the players ‘to secure victory before the need for any last minute wonder-goals or another penalties drama’.
Tiktok, allegedly, had given my local some newfound fame and punters were queuing outside ahead of its 3 p.m. opening time. On arrival, I was scolded by the barman for being late. It was four hours till kick off. Time passed idly. The queues for the men’s toilets were much longer than the women’s, which made a nice change. At last the match got underway. There were missed opportunities and saves for both sides in the first half which ended 0-0. In the second, Nico Williams scored an efficient goal, Yamal supplying the pass. A lone voice shouted ‘stick your tapas up your arse’ at the TV but was ignored, I’m pleased to say. (I love tapas.)
