Wayne Bridge is Betfred’s Euro 2024 Ambassador. When speaking about England’s chances for this year, he said: “We say it’s coming home every year, you’ve just got to say it and believe it.
“It’s a massive challenge and you look at the talent they’ve got, it’s a really exciting time. I say the only thing missing is at the back. I don’t feel like we’ve got as strong of a backline as we’ve had in previous pairings over the year
“The rest of the team I think it’s great. That’s no disrespect to the players that are in those positions. If you look at the players that have played there before, I think they’re more solid overall.
“I’ve had a discussion before where I suggest that we could play one holding midfielder and two further up in the pitch of like Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden.
When speaking about Brighton and Hove Albion captain Lewis Dunk, who has been included in the Euro 2024 squad list, Wayne Bridge added: “I’m just buzzing for him to be fair. I saw him at a previous England game and the kids got to meet him and stuff.
I think all the plays are important to be honest and I know that they might not feel it at times. I’ve been before and sat on the bench. I got a few minutes game time the World Cup and Euros but it’s one of those things where you’ve just got to stay ready.”
