Only if we stick together and fight, we'll be able to win the game against a team like England." They have the best players from the best league. So we perfectly understand how strong our opponent is and how hard the game will be for us."Īrtem Dovbyk, Ukraine striker: "England are the strongest team not just in Europe but in the world as well. Beyond all doubt, they are one of the best teams at this moment. We can see the great job done by Gareth Southgate. We are preparing very seriously and we want to surprise England. They are seen as favourites but everyone perfectly knows that anything can happen in football. Probably, there is a different pressure on England. View from the campsĪndriy Shevchenko, Ukraine coach: "We have achieved our main goal already and everything else will be a bonus. Whether he replicates the back three employed against Germany is a moot point and changes of personnel seem likely. Expectations at home are now sky-high and Southgate believes it is "probably a good thing to be going away" as "it would've been very hard, three days later, to replicate that experience at Wembley". Simon Hart, England reporter: After the energy and euphoria of Wembley and Tuesday's victory over Germany, it's the heat of Rome for England next as they bid to reach a first EURO semi-final since 1996.
