At stake, for the winning team, a place in the penultimate act against Holland or Turkey, while the semi-final of the upper part of the draw will see Spain and France face off.
HOW ENGLAND ARRIVES – “It’s a good moment for the team. It’s one thing to win games with all the top players, but it’s also very important that all the other players feel they are fundamental within the group”, commented the coach Gareth Southgate, who will celebrate today the 100th bench with the Three Lions, in the pre-match press conference. After overcoming, not without difficulty, Slovakia in the round of 16 (2-1 after extra time with the decisive goal scored by Kane), Pickford and his teammates aim to take another step towards confirming the final achieved in the last edition. As for the probable formation, it goes towards 3-4-2-1 with Foden and Bellingham supporting Kane.
HOW TO GET TO SWITZERLAND – Fresh from a convincing 2-0 win over Italy in the round of 16, Murat Yakin’s team now wants to trip up one of the main candidates for the continental title: “England have quality, but we are in good shape, confident and have already shown that we can do it against big teams like Germany and Italy”, declared the coach in the pre-match. In search of the first European semi-final in their history, the red and blue selection will field a 3-4-2-1 with Ndoye and Vargas behind Embolo.
