Euro 2024, Slovakia: Milan Skriniar warns England

The words of Milan Skriniar in the press conference

Slovakia captain Milan Skriniar spoke at a press conference ahead of the match against England, valid for the round of 16 of Euro 2024, scheduled for Sunday, June 30 at 6 p.m. at the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen. 

"Watching their matches we perceived that they were not always at their best and relied a lot on the individual qualities of their players,” stressed the Slovak defender. “We are aware that this è one of the best teams present in these round of 16, but we will have our chance if we really behave as a team. By winning against Belgium, we showed that we can beat anyone".

"Obviously we will have to be strong in defense,” added the former Inter Milan center-back, But we must also and above all develop our soccer, be active, force them to play at our pace, following our way of playing. We know that the English have difficulty in transitions, so we will have to try to punish the slightest mistake on their part, obviously remaining very vigilant not to commit any on our part. In our first games we sometimes lost certain balls too easily. We will not be able to afford".
