Analysis of the England and Slovakia teams
England finished the group stage top of Group C with a consistent performance. Gareth Southgate’s side were unbeaten, winning one and drawing two. Key players such as Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane and Phil Foden showed their ability, although their potential was not fully realised. Southgate will be looking for more consistency from his side in the knockout stages to achieve success in the tournament.
Slovakia started the tournament with an impressive win over Belgium, scoring an early goal thanks to a powerful strike from Ondrej Duda. Under the guidance of coach Francesco Calzona, who previously worked at Napoli, the Slovakian team plays in a style typical of Serie A. The team actively uses passing combinations and is skilled at set pieces, which makes them dangerous for opponents. Slovakia has players such as Milan Skriniar from PSG and Stanislav Lobotka from Napoli.
England squad for Euro 2024
The last match against Slovenia, which ended with a score of 0:0, again led to criticism of the team for the lack of bright play and goals scored. Despite dominating the game and possessing the ball, England managed only four shots on target. Gareth Southgate replaced Conor Gallagher with Kobby Meina in the second half, which improved the game somewhat, but did not bring any goals.
Particular attention in the upcoming match will be paid to the performances of Jude Bellingham, who has slowed down slightly after an impressive start to the tournament. Fans and experts are expecting him to contribute more to the team’s attacking efforts.
