It\u2019s not just getting the best individuals in, there\u2019s a positional element to that as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got really good options and I think we\u2019ve come through tonight without any physical issues, which is really important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The England boss continued: \u201cSome players needed the game, they needed the minutes and they need the minutes again on Friday. That\u2019s why we brought Harry Kane on. He needed some match time today and then to back that up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re spinning a lot of plates trying to get individuals into things, manage minutes, perform well and everything else, but I think it was a good night for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At Euro 2024, England are in Group C with Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia \u2014 their first opponents in Gelsenkirchen on June 16.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Unique\u2019 Eze shines as Palmer scores first England goal<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea\u2019s Cole Palmer marked his full England debut with his first international goal in the 3-0 win at St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n<p>He and Crystal Palace\u2019s Eberechi Eze started as part of an inexperienced Three Lions line-up before being withdrawn after an hour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCole linked the game well for us,\u201d Southgate told BBC Radio 5 Live.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought he tried to be a little too precise a couple of times on finishes that, if he\u2019d taken a little bit earlier, he might have got his shot away. But it was lovely for him to get his first goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEze played with that freedom and swagger that he plays for his club with. It\u2019s great to see a young player come into our environment and be able to do that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou saw that ability to glide past people in the middle of the pitch and the power he has as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Adam Wharton made a promising debut from the bench and Southgate said of the Palace midfielder: \u201cHe played as he\u2019s trained. He receives well, he\u2019s very composed and he plays forward, which sounds simple but is not a simple thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe plays a lot of one-touch football and can see a picture when the ball arrives with him. He\u2019s had a really good few days with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ex-Everton midfielder Leon Osman, working as a pundit on BBC Radio 5 Live, said: \u201cThat is why they [Eze and Wharton] have got into the squad, because of what they have done for their club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEze is unique. He can glide with the ball and he can beat four players at a time. There are not many players that can do that, they are the types of players you need to unlock the door. \u201cWharton played with such confidence in a vital area of the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mauritius\">Mauritius<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
