TPO - In the press conference before the match against England tonight (June 16), Serbia coach Dragan Stojkovic unexpectedly appeared modest. He said that for Serbia, reaching the EURO finals is already a success.
Dragan Stojkovic said in the pre-match press conference: “At this point, just reaching EURO 2024 would be a big step forward for Serbian football. Because we have been waiting for a ticket to EURO for a long time. Some players in this team were not even born when we last played in EURO.
There have been many missed opportunities in the past. But this time, the mission is done. We have waited for this for a long time, we deserve this, we have brought Serbia to the top of football.”
The above statement may show that coach Stojkovic and his students are very comfortable entering the campaign in Germany. Because they are not under any pressure.
But in a group where Serbia is considered equal to Denmark, second only to England, they understand that they must lower their target of qualifying, first of all, to get points against the Three Lions.
Captain Dusan Tadic said: “I think it will be a very open game. Serbia will not just wait and see what England do. On the contrary, we will try to create as many problems for them as possible. If we score one goal, we will look for the second goal, we are not afraid of that.”
Coach Stojkovic also shared the same opinion: "We entered the match with a relaxed mentality. I believe the players understand the English very well. What we need to do is show what we have, not care about the opponent, do our best. We have achieved our goal (entering the EURO finals), now let's see what we can do."
