Without a world-class goalkeeper, England will find it difficult to win Euro 2024

Recently, former German player Dietmar Hamann made a controversial statement: "England is not capable of winning Euro 2024 because they do not have a world-class goalkeeper."

"I'm worried about Jordan Pickford. He's a good goalkeeper, but not a complete one. Pickford's impulsive temperament can hurt him. Every team needs a classy and calm goalkeeper to make his teammates feel secure," Dietmar Hamann added.

In addition to Jordan Pickford (currently playing for Everton FC, England), two other goalkeepers on the list of 26 England players attending Euro 2024 include Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal) and Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace). However, these two goalkeepers are not rated too highly.

In terms of goalkeeper quality, Italy with Gianluigi Donnarumma, France with Mike Maignan and Germany with Manuel Neuer are the teams with the most complete goalkeepers in the world today.

Former German football star Dietmar Hamann shared: "In a long tournament like the Euro, you may have to play 7 matches (for the finalists), it is difficult to avoid tense matches that do not go your way".

"At that time, players need to have composure, but I don't see that goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has this composure. I feel he always tends to do the opposite.

That's what I've always worried about. I'm afraid England will find it difficult to win the tournament this year with a goalkeeper like Pickford in goal," said former Germany midfielder Dietmar Hamann.

England are the reigning Euro runners-up. This year, Gareth Southgate's team is determined to improve on their performance from the last Euro, which means winning the championship.
