British broadcaster BBC reported on the 4th (Korea time) 'Foden feels sorry for Southgate, who is under pressure'
Foden has been frank about England's performance at Euro 2024, saying the players should be held accountable and that he feels sorry for the manager being on the brink.
England, led by Southgate, were ranked as the '0th favorite' before the tournament.
In addition to Foden, England boasted the most spectacular strikers in Europe, including Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid) and Bukayo Saka (Arnall).
However, his performance in the group qualifying round was far from the reputation of the favorite.
England were tied in Group C with Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia. He advanced to the round of 16 with one win and two draws, but his performance was disappointing. He scored only two points in three group qualifying matches.
In the round of 16, he had good luck against Slovakia, which came in third place in Group E. to be dragged around for 90 minutes even in this gameHe managed to tie the game in the second half of extra time and went to extra time to win 2-1.
England will face Switzerland in the quarterfinals at 1 a.m. on the 7th. Switzerland came up after defeating Italy in the round of 16.
Criticism poured in over Southgate's style of play and player selection and tactics.
But Foden said "The players have to take some responsibility."
Foden says "Leaders have to come together and find a solution to why not. There is only a limited amount of work that a director can do. The administrator only sets up the system and suggests how it works. If it doesn't go like this, the players have to deal with it," he stressed.
Foden feels sorry for Southgate. In training, he tells us to press and stay high, but the players have to do it. We talked a lot about the issue. If this happens again during the game, we have to come together to find a solution, figure out where it went wrong, and adjust the press."

Foden said "I didn't show. But I'm making a little progress in every game. I hope you will perform well in the national team as well. I've always wanted to show in the national team. The first game was silent. I had nothing to say. He improved in the next game and hit the post against Denmark," he said, looking forward to his future development.
I disagreed with the point that there was no harmony with Bellingham.
Foden says "I think it's good if we play together. Sometimes it's just part of the way the game is played and the way football works. We did a really good job in terms of keeping the ball. I put pressure on it at the end and moved hopefully," he said, stressing that his relationship with Bellingham is improving.
