Postponement of 2020 Euro is blessing in disguise for England, admits Dan Ashworth

But former FA technical director Dan Ashwor🥀th is of the idea that the turn of events might actually work in favour of the English football team. As things stand, England have a catalogue of exciting young talents in the form of Phil Foden, Mason Greenwood and also the 22-year old Marcus Rashford. By the time the international events kicks-off, the players would have cemented their place in the team and would have become even better. 

“Putting it back a year wouldn’t be detrimental to England as they’re a young squad, compared to some aging teams. Tournaments being heldꦓ 16 months apart, that will be no problem,” admitted Ashworth as reported by The Sun.

“If you asked Gareth Southgate, Steve Holland and others involved with England’s senior tea🅷m, they’d like a tournament every summer. They are competitive beasts and they want to play matches and ꦐwin. The quicker they come round, the better. So I don’t think it will unduly affect England. In fact, you could argue it will be advantageous because there is less of a gap between tournaments.
