Slovenia is undefeated in the last 90 minutes of Group C, but in order to be a safe traveler to the round of XNUMX of the Euro, they will have to celebrate against the European giant England.
The selections of Matjaž Kek and Gareth Southgate will meet at 21:XNUMX in Cologne - "Zmajček" are chasing a triumph in order to be calm and for a possible first place before the knockout phase, while "Albion" is the only one with several options for the round of 16.
However, it seems that Southgate and the island public at this moment would only be satisfied with the first place in the group...
Kane replied to Lineker
England didn't impress anyone, but with four out of a possible six points they at least seem to be in control of things in the group. And if they beat Slovenia, Southgate will be able to say that his team did a good job en route to the round of 16.
- We know we can do better. You will see a stronger England - said Southgate.
The pressure is huge, midfielder Declan Rice also talked about it.
- We desperately want to do something big and something that generations will remember, but I think too much pressure was put on our backs - said the Arsenal midfielder.
Captain Harry Kane has responded to criticism from former striker and now commentator Gary Lineker.
- I appreciate everyone's opinion, especially former national team members, but we deserve a little more respect. Those who criticize us and use inappropriate words also played for England - and what did they win? It's not that simple - said the Bayern striker, the scorer in the draw with Denmark.
Kek: I'm sure this won't be the last challenge
Slovenia needs to beat the favorite to pass. And she would be the first in the event that she celebrates and Denmark does not win Serbia...
- We decide our own destiny, but we have huge respect for England, which is an incredible team. I think this is the toughest test for my team so far, but I'm sure it won't be the last challenge. We spent a lot of emotions in the duel with Serbia, but later we dropped the ball and look at everything good and bad that happened. Some things we could have done better, some we could not influence, but I promise that Slovenia will be ready for a big match - says the coach of the Dragons, Matjaž Kek.
England is not threatened.
- Look at the names of the players and the clubs they play in. For England, the tournament seems to be just starting, but we don't want this to be our last game in the tournament - concluded Kek.
