Gareth Southgate has responded to fans throwing beer cups at him during England's goalless draw with Slovenia in their final group game of Euro 2024 on Tuesday, 25 June.
The manager also expressed his confusion at the reaction towards him, despite England qualifying for the last-16 of the tournament.
"I understand the narrative towards me, that's better for the team than it being towards them, but it's creating an unusual environment to operate in," Southgate told a press conference.
"I've not seen any other team qualify and receive similar."
