On the evening of July 27th, Beijing time, after Newcastle United’s 2-0 preseason match against Hull City, Newcastle goalkeeper Pope responded to his previous failure to be selected for England’s European Cup squad.
Pope said: "When I was not selected for the European Cup squad, Southgate did not give me an explanation, but this is part of football and part of life."
"This is a difficult decision for the coach, England Everything about the team always requires the head coach to make such a difficult decision. "
" You can see from this summer's European Cup that although the England team successfully advanced to the group stage and reached the final, it was still under pressure. With such strict judgment, it is obviously a difficult job. "Southgate gave me the opportunity to make my debut and all 10 of my national team games were completed under him, so I will always be there." I won't say anything bad about him or be unhappy with the decisions he made. "Of course, I don't feel like I'm past my prime yet and I can still help England."
