At the European Championship, the Slovaks face a huge challenge.

In the quarter-finals of the tournament, players led by Francesco Calzona will have to defeat the English eleven.

Before the match, the 55-year-old Italian said:

"Maybe we could be calmer because we are not the favorites of the match. On the other hand, this does not mean that we will step onto the field with the mindset of expecting defeat.

We will try to win. I am not an optimist or a pessimist, I just believe in my team and its ability to demonstrate its game.

Since my arrival, Slovakia has always dictated the pace of the game and never allowed opponents to take the initiative.

Of course, the English are one of the contenders to win gold. It won't be easy, but we will leave all our strength on the field to delight our fans once again."

The England vs Slovakia match will start on Sunday at 7:00 pm.
