Joe Cole, Channel 4 analyst, cheers for England manager Gareth Southgate to choose Brentford striker Ivan Toney to compete in Euro 2024 in the final round as part of the striker’s quota. Second to Harry Kane because of the original number 9 style, no matter what you have on hand, you will feel comfortable.
Toney started the friendly 2-2 draw with Belgium yesterday, calling the penalty and coming up to score. He was given the chance to play 80 minutes and replaced Ollie Watkins with him.
The quota for players to compete in the European Championships in Germany in the middle of this year is 23. As usual, the formula for dividing the quota by position is 3 goalkeepers, 8 defenders, 7 midfielders and 5 forwards. The answer is spear number #9. There can be two people at full capacity.
In this time’s competition, Kane has already guaranteed one seat. The final seat remains between Toney and Watkins, causing the former English midfielder to cheer on Brentford’s executioner.
“Ask me the England squad for Euro 2024 and I’d go with Kobbie Mainoo and Ivan Toney, who started last night,” Cole said to สมัคร ufabet.
“Personally, I always see the Belgium game as more important to Toney because he needs to show that when he gets on the big stage he can handle it. They both controlled the ball in the front line and waited for the moment. It should add something to the team.”
“However, Harry Kane is the real tiffin. As long as the body is 32, has two feet, two arms, but now Ivan Toney can show he can handle the pressure of being an England player.”
“Yesterday’s Wembley event was extremely bleak. Both are penalty shoot-out experts. That could be another point that manager Gareth Southgate considers if he has to choose between Toney or Watkins.”
Toney is the first player to score from the penalty spot on his England debut since Allan Clarke against Czechoslovakia in the 1970 World Cup.
