Serbia coach Dragan Stojkovic believes stopping Jude Bellingham is the key to making sure his team can surprise England in tomorrow's Euro 2024 opener.

“È definitely a very important player for England. È really impressive, incredible, his performance for such a young guy. Good for England and bad for us, but we will do our best to control this kind of situation".
Tomorrow's match in Gelsenkirchen è has been declared a high risk by police over fears that Serbian ultras may clash with the tens of thousands of England fans who have traveled to northwest Germany. Stojkovic denied fears that the match could be marred by acts of hooliganism.

Football è something special for people and I am sure that fans of both teams will be very happy to be at the stadium tomorrow".
