Football News Update: England Focused Ahead of Euro 2024 Quarterfinals
In the build-up to the Euro 2024 quarterfinals, England defender Marc Guehi has emphasized the team’s calm and focused approach, despite the intense scrutiny surrounding their performances.
Speaking to the media, Guehi acknowledged the unusual environment created by the reaction to England’s displays in Germany, but he insisted that the players are not listening to any outside noise. “I don’t think the team is too focused on that,” he said. “We are thankful for all of the fan support because they have travelled to see us.“
Guehi further stated that the camp maintains a calm and focused atmosphere, with the players solely focused on their next task at hand. “Everyone is just focused on the next task at hand,” he added.
As a result of winning their group, England have avoided many of the other major nations on the other side of the draw, including Spain, Germany, Portugal, France, and Belgium. However, Guehi believes there is no easy route to the final in Berlin on July 14th. “Everyone has seen in this competition that I don’t think there is a favourable side of the draw,” he said. “Every opponent is tough to play against.“
The England defender is forming a solid partnership at the back with Manchester City’s John Stones, and the team has conceded only one goal during the three group stage matches. Guehi attributes this confidence to the team’s togetherness and performances. “We haven’t lost a game yet. It’s important for us to control what we can control,” he said.
England’s next match will be against Slovakia in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday, June 29th, with kickoff scheduled for 17:00 BST.
