Euro 2020: In-form England face tough Ukraine test without home support in quarter-finals

Firstpost  

England are looking to match their performance from the 2018 World Cup, when they reached the semi-finals. “Clearly that doesn’t help football but we’re well aware of the situation,” Ukraine coach Andriy Shevchenko said before encouraging Italy-based Ukrainians to attend the match. “Tomorrow at the stadium we will see who will support whom better.” The winner between Ukraine and England will play either Denmark or the Czech Republic in the semi-finals on Wednesday at Wembley, with the final also scheduled for England’s home stadium. “England has enormous talent but they’ve also had the advantage, like other nations, of playing only at home.” Expect an old-fashioned Italian “catenaccio” and counterattack approach from Ukraine to deal with talented England strikers Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane, who accounted for the goals in the 2-0 win over Germany. Tassotti said the tactics will be to “stifle” England, “close spaces,” and “prevent them from running.” “Those are the types of matches they don’t like.
