“It’s clear that I will always choose the best players to build our team. To give us a chance to win Unless something inappropriate happens,” Southgate said.
“People may not agree with Jordan’s attitude , but I don’t think that’s why I didn’t pick him. And that’s not why he had to be booed.
“We want the fans to support us. We are a strong team if the fans are with us. That’s a connection we’ve had for a long time. If I choose according to other people’s preferences This team will look different.
“I will evaluate the strongest team. I will protect my players and my team because we need unity and strength.
“Two players (Henderson and Harry Maguire) performed in important games for us with their quality and experience. Including the reality that cannot be assessed. That group of players and outstanding personalities are the reason we had such a great night.”
