England’s Defensive Concerns Laid Bare in Loss to Brazil: Euro 2024 Preparations Under Scrutiny

England manager Gareth Southgate received a stark reminder of his team’s persistent issues in their loss to Brazil ahead of Euro 2024. While not a decisive match, it highlighted ongoing concerns particularly in defense and without key players like Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka.

Despite fielding an experimental lineup, England’s defensive vulnerabilities were exposed by Brazil’s pace and skill. The absence of Kane was felt and Jude Bellingham endured a rough night. Southgate’s achievements have raised expectations but the loss underscores the challenges England faces in achieving success at major tournaments.
