England must forget their start to the tournament and raise their level of play. In the round of 16, they face Slovakia, Sunday June 30 at 6 p.m., in Gelsenkirchen, with the aim of increasing their strength. Authors of a very sluggish group stage, the English have shown almost nothing. After a difficult victory against the Serbs, they were unable to beat Denmark and Slovenia, even if they finished in first place in their group. If Gareth Southgate’s men want to regain their status as favorites, they will have to be more creative and convert their opportunities.
Against them, the Slovaks should approach the match without pressure. Surprise winner over Belgium on the first day, Slovakia will have to repeat its feat against the English to reach the quarter-finals. The Three Lions who had not been flamboyant in the first round of Euro 2021 and had still reached the final. Placed in a more affordable part of the table, Jude Bellingham’s teammates could take advantage of this.
