Slovaks are not as hopeless in their struggle as they might seem at first glance.

England captain Harry Kane showed up for the Euro 2024 1/8 final match with the national team of Slovakia. Quotes from the striker from the official UEFA website.

\? Different reasons in different games. We just want to know that little spark and connection in the final third. We also played against good teams, and it was not easy for us to defeat their defense and score a goal.

Each team has its own gritting style and its own system. In the three games we played, the players put pressure on us, but the players did not. We will happen to be the mother of all the matches in the tournament.

We know the threat borne by the Slovak Republic and the way it plays.

Singing, the Slovaks will march to victory, like us. A good match is on us - not the playoffs, and the pressure will be even greater.

It's time for the playoffs. Such tournaments fly by quickly, especially if you take part in them. It seems like we were here quite recently (in Gelsenkirchen - ed.. ), having achieved a good result with Serbia,” Kane said.

The match between England and Slovakia will take place today in Gelsenkirchen and will start at 19:00 at Kiev time.
