Declan Rice says England have “put too much pressure on ourselves” after the 1-1 draw with Denmark in their second group game at Euro 2024.
Declan Rice says England have “put too much pressure on ourselves” after Gareth Southgate's side drew with Denmark in their second group game at Euro 2024.
Arsenal midfielder Rice said the squad are "desperate to do the country proud" but Southgate believes his players may “care too much” as they seek European glory. However, the display against Denmark, in which England were unable to build on captain Kane's 18th-minute opener, was described as "baffling and concerning" by former England defender Rio Ferdinand among the post-match criticism.
“There's going to be that pressure. This is England a major tournament. But this is our job and this is what we have to deal with."When Southgate took over as manager in November 2016, England had suffered humiliation at Euro 2016 when they lost to Iceland in the last 16. “We are trying to do something that has never been done before. So that is going to be a bit of a rollercoaster," Southgate said.
