“Dec was our speaker who was keeping everyone calm, calming everyone down, telling everyone to do their breathing techniques and manifest it.
“It was needed.”
It was a complete team performance from Gareth Southgate’s men to win their place in the semifinal.
Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford saved Manuel Akanji’s penalty to put the presure on the Swiss team.
Akanji’s Manchester City teammate Kyle Walker helped Pickford in saving the penalty, as revealed by Shaw.
The Manchester United left-back said:
“I think Walks helped him a little bit.
“I could see Walks was pointing to his left. Walks was pointing to that side and it gave him extra help. I think he was already going that way, but it gave him some extra help to know where to go.”
Gareth Southgate’s England can go all the way
