As Serbia and England gear up to clash in the first round of Group C at Euro 2024, football fans are eagerly anticipating the showdown scheduled for Sunday. The match at the Veltins Arena, usually home to Schalke 04, promises to be a thrilling encounter that will put England’s favouritism to the test against a resilient Serbian side.
Interestingly, this will mark the first-ever meeting between England and Serbia since the latter’s independence in 2006, following the dissolution of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro. While the historical encounters between England and its predecessors have been sparse, the upcoming match serves as a fresh chapter for both nations. Notably, the last time Yugoslavia defeated England was during the semi-finals of Euro 1968, a significant milestone in the football history of these nations.
In the build-up to the clash against England, Stojkovic emphasized the need for maximum concentration and quality from his players. The Serbian coach acknowledges the challenge posed by facing the tournament favorites but remains confident in his team’s preparation. Stojkovic’s experience as both a player and coach in major tournaments instills a sense of determination as Serbia braces themselves for the tough opposition.
Southgate’s resolve to guide his team to glory in Euro 2024 is evident as he acknowledges the weight of expectations on England. With continuous improvements and near misses in recent competitions, Southgate understands the consequences of falling short once again. Despite the pressure, he remains committed to nurturing the young talents within the squad and striving for success on the European stage.
