‘I think we can intimidate the team with booing during the game but it’s different for the anthem.' EURO2020
Gareth Southgate has urged England fans not to boo Italy’s national anthem during the Euro 2020 final on Sunday.
A section of Three Lions supporters have been jeering opposition teams’ anthems at their games at Wembley this summer. Earlier this week, UEFA opened disciplinary proceedings against England for fan ‘disturbance’ as Denmark’s anthem took place prior to kick-off in the semi-final.The booing has faced backlash, and ahead of Sunday’s showpiece, Southgate insisted fans must ‘respect’ their opponents and suggested jeering could even inspire Italy.
The England boss told reporters on Saturday: ‘It’s important that our fans always respect the opposition and we know that in actual fact when we play abroad and fans boo our anthem it probably inspires us even more.‘I think we can intimidate the team with booing during the game but it’s different for the anthem and we should be respectful.’
