Euro 2021: Analysis positives to Euro 2020 delay England

There will be no international football during the summer of 2020. Euro 2020 retains its name, but has to all other purposes become Euro 2021. Euro 2021 fans can book England Vs Croatia Tickets on our website on exclusively discounted prices.

The coronavirus has slashed its way through the sporting calendar, and the scheduled major tournament for 2020 has been delayed by 12 months. For Gareth Southgate and England Euro 2021, however, there may be reasons to be positive.

Where there were previously concerns surrounding injuries to Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford, they both now have a further year to recover their form and fitness. Jordan Pickford and John Stones, also among those struggling for consistency, will have more time to correct that.

There are also the potential benefits that will come from so many of Southgate’s promising young players having a further years’ experience of senior football. Maybe, for England Euro 2021, Southgate and so many of his leading players.

Maturing goalkeepers
There is a perception in football that experience is important for a goalkeeper. It’s rare, for example, to see a young goalkeeper relied upon as Dean Henderson has been at Sheffield United. History also confirms that experience is even more valuable at international level.

World Cup and European Championship-winning goalkeepers are almost invariably between the ages of 27 and 31, which seems to be the perfect age for success in goal in international football. Euro 2021 fans can book England Euro Cup Tickets on our website on exclusively discounted prices.

All but one first-choice goalkeeper in a team that has won a major international Euro 2021 tournament this century has been in that age bracket, the exception being Greece’s then 33-year-old Antonios Nikopolidis at Euro 2004. Pickford will be 27 by the summer of 2021.

Pickford is under pressure from Henderson, who should feel the benefits of a further season to convince Southgate that he is ready to be England’s number one, even if at 23 he remains a way off that sweet spot between the ages of 27 and 31.
