Southgate speaks on Euro 2020 semi-final clash against Denmark

England squad head coach Gareth Southgate has spoken about the Euro 2020 semi-final match against Denmark.

"We've knocked off so many hoodoos or perceived barriers already and I feel like this group of players will feel this is just the next challenge," Gareth Southgate said.

"I guess the interesting part for us is we won't feel totally satisfied if it's just a semi-final whereas maybe three years ago, although there was massive disappointment after the semi-final, there was a feeling we'd come a long way.

"Now we've replicated what we did there, but that won't be enough to fulfil the group. That's a positive sign.

"These young players, they're getting more experiences of England that are positive and enjoyable. They're feeling what it can be like to be in an England shirt and have fun and win matches and have a relationship with the fans that is positive. That's so important for a generation to come. We'll get more out of their talent if we can keep that relationship."

The England-Denmark clash will take place on Wednesday in London.
