Serbia, Stojkovic: “Stopping Bellingham will be the key”
The coach thus expressed himself on the strength of the English national team and in particular on Jude Bellingham: “I think he will be a future Ballon d’Or winner. It’s impressive what he shows in the shirt real Madrid, he is very young but so powerful. We cannot give him too much space or time to penetrate the space, he is certainly a very important player for theEngland. His performance is unreal for such a young boy. For us these are not good things, but we will do our best to control these types of situations.”
Serbia, Stojkovic: “We can’t just defend ourselves”
Stojkovic he then revealed the way in which he intends to approach the first match of the Europeans: “I wouldn’t make a distinction between the first, second and third matches of the group. We’re making our debut against one of the favourites, but we’ve worked hard to prepare ourselves as best we can for the challenges that await us. I’ve done everything from a technical point of view so that the players can train at the highest level, I think we are ready physically and tactically. What will we do in case of an advantage? I will ask to score the second. Jokes aside, we will see how the match will develop.England you have to be at your best. We will do everything to create problems and create opportunities. This is a tournament, every goal is important. We will be ready for this challenge.” Finally, a comment on the possible frictions between the two fans: “I’m sure that tomorrow’s match will be an opportunity for everyone to enjoy the match, both English and Serbian fans. Football is something special for people and I’m sure that the fans of both teams will be very happy to be at the stadium tomorrow.”
