News from the rival camp of the Ukrainian national team for the opening match in the qualifying round of Euro 2024. England head coach Gareth Southgate said what he thinks about the start in this Euro qualifier, and also shared expectations for the match against Italy, which will be held today in Naples.
Gareth Southgate"Everything we've achieved before doesn't matter now. We have to start all over again. We have to work hard again to qualify again. And in these tournaments, a successful start is often crucial. Especially in a group like ours. But ours has the mentality needed to get off to a successful start.
We have not won away against Italy since 1961. This is part of the history that we will try to destroy. And it is a great challenge for our team.
Yes, Italy did not qualify for the 2022 World Cup, but that will inevitably lead to a team with double the motivation to start this qualifying cycle. So we're in for a terrific game," Southgate said at the pre-match press conference yesterday in Naples.
It must be recalled, the match England - Ukraine will take place on Sunday, March 26, in London.
