UEFA Nations League: Carsley expresses disappointed, explaining the reasons behind Greeces 2-1 victory over England

England’s interim manager, Lee Carsley has suggested that Greece defeated his team 2-1 in the UEFA Nations League clash on Thursday because the Three Lions were the second best team during the encounter.

Recall that Vangelis Pavlidis put Greece ahead before Jude Bellingham equalized for the hosts few minutes later.

However, a late goal from Pavlidis gave Greece the victory over England at the Wembley Stadium.

“I think we were probably second best for a lot of tonight … it’s disappointing,” Carsley told ITV.

“You are going to get setbacks … it’s important we respond well against Finland.

“We tried something different, overload the midfield. You have experimented with it and we are disappointed it didn’t come off.”

He added, “All of the goals came from mistakes … even at 1-1 we were quite fortunate at that point … when you’ve got someone of Harry Kane’s quality, it rules [the new system] out … in the future we’ve got to have that courage to try things.”
