AS Roma coach Jose Mourinho has slammed Chelsea’s Reece James and Manchester United’s Luke Shaw ahead of England’s final Group D game between England and the Czech Republic on Tuesday night.
Mourinho said James and Shaw were offensively “poor” for England at Euro 2020.
“The most important thing is the confidence of the players,” Mourinho told talkSPORT.
“I don’t believe that at all, for example, when Gareth [Southgate] decided to play the last game with James and Shaw; I don’t think he told them not to attack, to stay on the four-line, to be careful.

I do not believe that. You do this with other players. To do this, you also play as Ben White in defense alongside the Mings and Stones.
“I think the confidence of the players (is important). James and Shaw are attacking and fast players.
“Normally they go ahead and create. They arrive in the box and create. They didn’t do it against Scotland. They remained very, very calm. They didn’t make any mistakes. But offensively, they were poor.
