sport news Euro 2020: Jose Mourinho tells Gareth Southgate HIS England XI to face Czech ...

Jose Mourinho has urged England to 'go for the jugular' against Czech Republic at Wembley as the former Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham boss revealed who he thinks should start for the Three Lions.

England's players were booed by sections of the Wembley crowd following Friday night's dismal 0-0 draw against Scotland. 

Harry Kane has struggled in attack and has been substituted in both games but given boss Gareth Southgate has confirmed the Spurs star will start once more, Mourinho wants to see the supporting cast around him freshened up.  

Jack Grealish should start as No 10 for England against Czech Republic, believes Jose Mourinho

Jude Bellingham replacing Kalvin Phillips is another move boss Gareth Southgate should make, he says

Speaking to talkSPORT this morning, Mourinho said: 'I'm pretty sure if Harry Kane has three chances, you will get two goals.

'People talk about strikers missing chances, Harry hasn't missed chances in this tournament… [he hasn't had any].' 

The pair worked together at Tottenham and Kane proved devastating in Mourinho's side, often dropping deeper to turn provider for team-mate Son Heung-min.

In the England set-up he is being asked to stay further forward and Mourinho wants to see Aston Villa's Jack Grealish come in for his first start of the tournament to play off Kane as a No 10.

There has been growing demand for Grealish to be handed his first start at Euro 2020 and Mourinho has revealed he would select the 25-year-old ahead of Chelsea's Mason Mount for Tuesday night's match.

Mount was forced to self-isolate on Monday as a precautionary measure after he was a close contact of Scotland's Billy Gilmour, who tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday. 

But for Mourinho, the big plus about Grealish is that he 'does not hide' when others play with fear.
