Match Preview
England open their Euro 2024 marketing campaign towards Serbia in Gelsenkirchen tomorrow night time hoping to go one higher than their penalty shoot-out defeat to Italy three years in the past.
Gareth Southgate’s males seem properly positioned to make a critical problem regardless of considerations over their defensive solidity with Harry Maguire dominated out by harm and left-back Luke Shaw struggling to be match for the event opener.
On the flip facet, the likes of Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden are available having loved great seasons at their golf equipment – Actual Madrid and Manchester Metropolis respectively – whereas Harry Kane blazed a path in his debut 12 months at Bayern Munich.
This event represents an actual take a look at of nerve for Southgate, who has been accused of being too passive at key moments on the World Cup in 2018 and the ultimate of Euro 2020.
Serbia will probably be no pushovers, though their type within the warm-up video games has been patchy. Wins over Sweden and Cyprus have been offset by defeats to Russia and Austria. A lot will rely upon the type of strikers Dusan Vlahovic and Aleksandar Mitrovic.
