England will face Croatia on June 13, at 1 PM GMT time for the first fixture of Euro 2020. The game will be played at Wembley Stadium with numerous fans attending the event, hopefully. It will be a tough match for both teams however since the three points will be fundamental to whoever wins and the level of the players is so high. In fact, Croatia are not an easy team to beat, they have been the World Cup finalists in 2018 as their team includes players who compete at the biggest European clubs such as Luka Modrić (Real Madrid), Marcelo Brozović and Ivan Perišić (Inter Milan), Mateo Kovačić (Chelsea), Ante Rebić (Milan) and many other talented players who can disturb any team.
On the other hand, England will need to play their best football in order to impose their dominance, score goals and try to defend well at the same time. This will be the key to winning such complicated games, yet the execution of such plans is not as easy as it sounds. Players like Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, Raheem Sterling, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Mason Mount, Jadon Sancho, Jack Grealish, Phil Foden and others will need to be in their best form to play a key role in creating attacking danger and breaking Croatia’s defensive lines. In the meantime, Jordan Henderson, Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Luke Shaw, John Stones, Harry Maguire, Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker, Jordan Pickford, and others will need to remain focused the whole match to not concede spaces or chances to the opposition while trying to intercept as many passes as possible to alleviate Croatia’s attacking threat.
