The Berlin showpiece offers England the chance to join Sir Alf Ramsey’s 1966 World Cup heroes in immortality.
Gareth Southgate says he leads England into the European Championship final against Spain wanting “to win so much on Sunday it hurts”.
“Where I’m fortunate is that age and experience has made me more comfortable with who I am, what I’m good at, what I need to be better at. That was one of four major tournaments the proud Englishman went to as a player, with these Euros his fourth as manager. “So, I know there is a body of work there and how we’ve worked with different teams, different groups of players that we’ve brought together to get the outcomes that we have.
The England boss credits his father, Clive, for that trait, which allows him to go from serene to punching the air and screaming “one more!” after the semi-final win against the Netherlands.Put to Southgate, fans rarely see that side, he said: “Well, it doesn’t look so great if you beat Lithuania away. People would question that a bit more I guess.
“I know sometimes because I’m not like that on the sideline, people might view that differently but my job on the sideline is to make good decisions, not to be a cheerleader.”
