Serbia’s Strategy to Defeat England at Euro 2024: Inside Mutmacher Island
The recent match between England and Iceland at Wembley Stadium ended in a disappointing 0-1 loss for England. For the Serbians, who are set to face off against the „Three Lions“ in their Euro 2024 opening match in Group C, this game served as a valuable lesson on how to successfully defeat the favored English team.
Midfielder Nemanja Gudelj, who plays for FC Sevilla and is 32 years old, shared insights into Serbia’s plan for the upcoming match. He emphasized that the game against England demonstrated that the English team is not unbeatable. With discipline, tactical readiness, and physical preparedness, any team can emerge victorious. Gudelj expressed confidence in his team’s readiness for the match on Sunday.
Gudelj also highlighted the importance of scoring goals from a distance, a skill he excels at. He stated, „If there is space for a long-range shot, I am always willing to try. I find it easier to score goals from a distance, and we are prepared for all possibilities.“
When asked about facing England, known as a tough opponent in the group, Gudelj acknowledged the significance of the match being the first one. However, he refrained from labeling England as the toughest challenge, emphasizing that the true test will come after the game.
After playing against England, Serbia will face Slovenia and Denmark in the group stage. The team’s primary objective is to advance past the group stage and progress further in the tournament. With a strategic approach and determination, Serbia aims to make a mark in Euro 2024 and showcase their potential on the international stage.
