      How England penalty success could be down to breathing guru and Radio 1 DJ as Rice urges stars to ‘manifest’ his methods

      by

      ENGLAND’S penalty success could be down a breathing coach who also moonlights as a Radio 1 DJ.The Three Lions put in a flawless performance from the spot in their quarter-final Euros win over Switzerland.England have a breathing workshop to thank for their penalties win over SwitzerlandCredit: GettyRadio 1 DJ Stuart Sandeman is a breathing expert who helped the Three Lions control their nervesCredit: Stuart SandemanHe worked with England in the run-up to their quarter-final winCredit: GettyStars like Cole Palmer could be seen gulping in air before their penaltyCredit: GettyCole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Ivan Toney and Trent Alexander-Arnold did their country proud by slotting home all five of England’s penalties.While Jordan Pickford produced a fine effort to deny Switzerland’s first effort from Manuel Akanji.The Three Lions’ heroics mean they face Holland on Wednesday evening for a place in Sunday’s final against either Spain or France.And should England go all the way, Gareth Southgate is likely to buy a thank-you card for breathing specialist Stuart Sandeman. READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe 41-year-old, who also works as a DJ for BBC Radio 1, is a master breathing guru who styles himself as a ‘Breathwork Trainer’.He jetted out to England’s training base in Germany last week and engaged in a breathing workshop with the 26-man squad to help calm nerves and improve focus.Sandeman instructed players to breathe in for five seconds and out for the same amount of time “during high pressure moments.”He explained the technique helps to “let muscles, tissues, nerves and minds reset, so that when it’s time to switch back on, you’re able to perform at your best.”Most read in Euro 2024EURO 2024 FREE BETS AND OFFERSSpeaking before England’s win over Switzerland, and after the last-16 victory against Slovakia, Sandeman said: “There’s no greater indication of the powerful link between breathing and performance than England including breathwork to aid the team’s recovery at Euro 2024 after Sunday’s win.“I’m humbled that they chose me to lead these sessions.”The Sun’s Charlie Wyett England review as ‘lucky’ Three Lions squeak by Switzerland in dramatic penalty shootoutSandeman ran through numerous exercises at England’s training base in GermanyCredit: GettyStars were instructed to breathe in for five seconds and release for the same amount of timeCredit: GettyDeclan Rice reminded pals to use the techniques ahead of the shootoutCredit: GettyEngland’s penalty shootout recordTHE dreaded penalty shootout.England’s nemesis at no fewer than EIGHT major tournaments since 1990, from the West Germany heartache at Italia 90 to Wembley woes on the brink of Euro 2020 final glory.But the perfect shootout win over Switzerland at Euro 2024 gives some reason for optimism…1990 World Cup semi-final vs WEST GERMANY, 04/07/1990 – LOST 4-3Euro 1996 quarter-final vs SPAIN, 22/06/1996 – WON 4-2Euro 1996 semi-final vs WEST GERMANY, 26/06/1996 – LOST 6-5Friendly vs BELGIUM, 29/05/1998 – LOST 4-31998 World Cup last 16 vs ARGENTINA, 30/06/1998 – LOST 4-3Euro 2004 quarter-final vs PORTUGAL, 24/06/2004 – LOST 6-52006 World Cup quarter-final vs PORTUGAL, 01/07/2006 – LOST 3-1Euro 2012 quarter-final vs ITALY, 24/06/2012 – LOST 4-22018 World Cup last 16 vs COLOMBIA, 03/07/2018 – WON 4-3Nations League third-place play-off vs SWITZERLAND, 09/06/2019 – WON 6-5Euro 2020 final vs ITALY, 11/07/2021 – LOST 3-2Euro 2024 last-16 vs SWITZERLAND, 06/07/24 – WON 5-3OVERALL: Played 12 Won 4, Lost 8The likes of Palmer and Toney could be seen sucking in the air before their penalties smashed the back of the net.But it was Declan Rice, who didn’t take a spot-kick, who was seemingly most influenced by Sandeman’s session.Luke Shaw revealed that Rice reminded team-mates about the breathing techniques after 120 minutes, admitting most players’ minds were elsewhere.He said: “Declan was our speaker, he was calming everyone down and telling them to do their breathing techniques and manifest them. It was needed.”Meanwhile, Bellingham thanked England coach and former Chelsea star Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink for also helping the players remain calm from the spot.He said: “I was really confident in my preparation, confident in the things I talked through with Hasselbaink, he’s stepped up for us massively.“It’s the work he does behind closed doors, with the lads being willing to take on that information, that put us in those situations in order to be able to win.”Jude Bellingham thanked Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink for inspiring England’s penalty winCredit: PABellingham fired home his spot-kick with aplombCredit: GettyEngland’s five-point penalty shootout planEXPERT football psychologist Professor Geir Jordet has told Gareth Southgate and his players what they can do to give themselves the best chance of victory in any shootouts.And he has even thrown in a rogue, bold suggestion for the Three Lions manager…1. START PLANNING LAST YEAR “It’s about planning for the opposition’s penalty takers but also ‘how do we win the psychological game against each opponent?’2. SMART SOUTHGATE LEADERSHIP”Southgate will have two minutes to influence his players as effectively as possible, show he has a plan and get confidence across.”3. DICTATE AS A TEAM”A shootout is really a team performance. Have the goalkeeper walk with the penalty taker into the penalty area to basically create a two-versus-one against the other goalkeeper. Dominate the centre circle, support the players who missed.”4. ‘BULLETPROOF’ INDIVIDUAL ROUTINES “Have really good, individualised and rehearsed pre-shot routines that are bulletproof and polished so they’re more likely to be able to resist the stress and more likely to score.”5. SHOOT YOUR SHOT  “Practise the shot itself, trying to simulate penalty shootouts in training. Even recreating 20 per cent of a Euros final penalty shootout is going to have a benefit for your performance.”AND A JOR DROPPING IDEA…Jordan Pickford is the No1 but Dean Henderson actually has a far better penalty record – saving 8/22 (36 per cent) compared to Pickford’s 8/62 (13 per cent).Jordet said: “One could consider making a late substitution for a penalty shootout. I doubt that they dare to do it in case it fails and the pressure is even higher but it would be a very ballsy move.” More

All of their goals in their five tournament games have come from own goals or penalties.Despite all of their attacking talent, France have been ultra pragmatic and very unappealing on the eye which has contributed to four clean sheets in their five matches.But, as has often happened with the French in recent years, they remain on course to clinch a first Euros title since 2000.And their chances are somewhat boosted with Robin Le Normand and Dani Carvajal both suspended while Pedri misses out through injury.EURO 2024 FREE BETS AND OFFERSSpain vs France preview: Betting tips, odds and predictions for Euro 2024Credit: THE SUNSpain vs France oddsOdds are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change.Spain vs France betting tipsResultIt’s extremely difficult to see either of these nations running away with it. In fact it’s generous to see more than one goal being scored on Tuesday night.As mentioned, pragmatic France have been fantastic at the back with four clean sheets in five matches, while goalkeeper Mike Maignan boasts the best save percentage in this competition with 94%.But French have stuttered in attack with talisman Kylian Mbappe continuing struggle. Les Bleus have carved out 89 attempts at goal but not a single chance has found the back of the net.Spain have managed to find the net on 10 occasions, but France’s rearguard action and organisation could see these sides cancel each other out.The match to be drawn 0-0 at 5/1 with William Hill – CLAIM HEREDramaIn for a penny…There have only been four goals scored in France’s five Euro 2024 matches.And given we think a draw and extra time are likely it looks as though penalties are inevitable in Munich on Tuesday.Both sides are available at 8/1 to win via spot kicks if you’re looking for bigger prices.The match to go to penalties at 10/3 with William Hill – CLAIM HEREHe’s backWith Dani Carvajal suspended for Tuesday’s contest, it looks as though 38-year-old back-up right-back Jesus Navas will be drafted in.Navas will become the oldest player to win the Euros if Spain go all the way and the veteran should have his hands full marking Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe all night.He collected seven yellow cards and a red in LaLiga last season, and could add to his tally of 101 career cards against the French.Jesus Navas to be carded at 4/1 with William Hill – CLAIM HERERemember to gamble responsiblyA responsible gambler is someone who:Establishes time and monetary limits before playingOnly gambles with money they can afford to loseNever chase their lossesDoesn’t gamble if they’re upset, angry or depressedGamcare – www.gamcare.org.ukGamble Aware – www.gambleaware.orgFor help with a gambling problem, call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 or go to www.gamstop.co.uk *Ladbrokes. 18+ New UK+IRE Customers only.

      Man Utd target shock transfer for Chelsea star Ben Chilwell to battle England rival Luke Shaw for left-back spot
