Ivan Toney: From Frustration to Euro 2024 Hero

Ivan Toney expressed frustration over his late introduction in England’s Euro 2024 match against Slovakia, admitting he was annoyed but ready to seize any opportunity given. Despite minimal playing time, Toney assisted Harry Kane’s crucial goal in extra time, helping England advance to the quarter-finals. England manager Gareth Southgate acknowledged Toney’s initial disappointment but praised his contribution. Toney, a regular starter for Brentford, faces competition from Kane in Southgate’s system, leading him to work on emotional control with a sports psychologist.

He emphasized the importance of readiness in tournament football, noting the team effort required beyond the starting eleven. Ahead of England’s quarter-final clash with Switzerland, Ivan Toney replaced Luke Shaw at a press conference, with Shaw aiming to recover from injury for his tournament debut. Despite criticism of England’s performances, they aim to build momentum under Southgate’s consistent lineup strategy, adapting now with defender Marc Guehi suspended.

Former England striker Alan Shearer believes this pivotal moment demands bold decisions from Southgate and improved performances from the squad. England will take on Switzerland in Dusseldorf at 17:00 BST on Saturday for their quarter-final match in Euro 2024. The match promises to be a pivotal encounter as both teams vie for a spot in the tournament’s semi-finals.
