Before Sunday's final in the European Championship in football between England and Spain, Sven-Göran "Svennis" Eriksson praises the English national team captain Gareth Southgate.

"If he wins in Berlin, I think he should be considered better," he writes.

England is hunting for its first championship title since 1966. Back then, it was Alf Ramsey who led the team to gold.

"Svennis", who led the English national team 2001-2006, praises the current national team captain Gareth Southgate in a chronicle in Daily Telegraph, and writes that if England wins the final, Southgate will surpass Ramsey's achievements.

"If he wins in Berlin, I think he should be considered better," writes "Svennis".

"Svennis" highlights that Southgate has learned from the mistakes his predecessors made on the mental side of the game.

"He is very good at that and he is fantastic at handling people."

Eriksson, who is seriously ill with incurable cancer, has been on a farewell tour around the football world and has been praised at, among other places, Gamla Ullevi in Gothenburg and the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
