As England prepares to take on Slovakia in the Round of 16 at Euro 2024 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, midfielder Marc Guehi emphasizes the equal challenge posed by every opponent. Despite criticism over scoring only two goals in three group matches, the \"Three Lions\" have advanced as the leaders of Group C.
England's journey in the tournament includes a narrow 1-0 win against Serbia, followed by two draws against Denmark (1-1) and Slovenia (0-0). This performance has allowed them to avoid early matchups with football giants such as France, Spain, Germany, and Portugal.
Addressing the upcoming draw, Guehi stated, \"About the draw, I think everyone has seen in this competition that I don't think there is a favorable side of the draw. Every team, every opponent that you come up against is really tough to play against. But I think we just need to remain calm. That's the environment we set ourselves. We put pressure on ourselves but it is a calm and focused environment and we just need to focus on one thing at a time.\"
Guehi's solid defensive performances have been instrumental in England conceding only one goal in the group stage. As the team moves into the knockout rounds, their focus remains on maintaining composure and tackling each match with determination.
