On Monday, three games will take place on the fourth day of the European Football Championship final tournament, and the last of them will be started by the three-time champion Spain.
First at At 16.00 Latvian time, a subgroup D match between the Scottish and Czech national teams will take place at the Hampden Park Stadium in Glasgow.
In subgroup D, the first game took place on Sunday and England defeated Croatia 1-0.
Scotland played twice in the European Championship finals in the 1990s and has now returned to the continent’s strongest team after a 23-year hiatus. The Czech Republic is playing in its seventh final tournament in a row. In 1996, he took second place, losing to Germany in the final extension, but eight years later, the Czechs also lost to Greece in the semi-finals in overtime. Czechoslovakia, on the other hand, entered the top four three times, becoming the champion in 1976.
Former Chelsea defender Steve Clark has been leading the Scottish national team since 2019, and Yaroslav Silhavy has been at the helm of the Czech national team since 2018.
The Scottish national team includes the English Premier League and Scottish Championship footballers, as well as one player from the Belgian League. The team captain is Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson, and the best goal scorer is Birmingham’s Aston Villa midfielder John McGin, who has stood out in the national team ten times.
Meanwhile, the leader of the Czech national team is Tomás Souček, the midfielder of Westham United, and in the middle of the field, Vladimir Darid from Berlin “Hertha” plays a big role. Patrick Schik, a Bayer player from Leverkusen, has high hopes for the attack on the Czech national team, which plays irregularly in the attack.
In the second game of the day at 19.00 A subgroup E duel between the Polish and Slovak teams will take place in St. Petersburg. The match will be broadcast on TV6.
Poland is playing in its fourth final tournament in a row – the first two failed to leave the subgroup, but five years ago they reached the quarterfinals. Slovakia debuted in the final tournament only in 2016, stopping in the first round of the playoffs. Slovak footballers also contributed to the success of the former Czechoslovakia.
The Polish national team is led by Portuguese specialist Paul Souza, who replaced Jerzy Benchecek in January this year, despite the fact that the Polish coach took his national team to the final. The Slovaks are led by a local specialist Štefan Tarkovič.
Undoubtedly the brightest star of the Polish national team is one of the best football players in the world, Robert Levandowski, who has scored 66 goals in 115 games for the national team. Far behind Munich, the Bayern striker is Arkadyus Milik, who was disqualified from the national team at the last minute and scored 15 goals. The midfielder Pjotrs Zeliņskis followed with seven goals, but the defender Kamils Gliks scored the ball six times in the opponents’ goal. In the position of the goalkeeper, two stable assistants – Vojceh Szczensny and Lukash Fabyanski.
The leading player in the Slovakian national team is Marek Hamshik, who has suffered from injuries this spring, and the former Napoli midfielder has been taken to the relatively weakest Swedish championship after playing in China.
In the final match of the day at 22.00 Two more subgroup E teams will meet in Seville – Spain and Sweden. This match will also be shown on TV6.
Spain is a three-time European champion and is the only team to have won two titles in a row (2008 and 2012). The Spaniards are also vice-champions of 1984. The best result for the Swedes so far is the semi-final achieved in the debut championship in 1992.
Spain has met the Swedish national team 14 times, the Spaniards have won six times, the Swedes have won three times and the matches have been tied five times. The Spaniards have remained undefeated in the last four games. Both teams met in the qualifying and final tournament of the 2008 championship, as well as in the selection of these championships and now also in the final tournament.
For the last three years, the Red Fury has been led by Luis Enrike with a half-year break, but Janne Andešson, who has been in office since 2016, is the main member of the Swedish national team.
Captain Sergio Buskett, who was still in isolation over the weekend, will not be able to play for the Spanish national team due to a positive Covid-19 test. However, defender Diego Ljorente has returned to the standings, who has been negative in the last four Covid-19 tests and has been given the green light for training.
The Spanish national team will start in this final without Real Madrid captain Serhio Ramos. Alvaro Morata, who has scored 19 goals in 40 matches, is by far the most productive of this national team, but Jordi Alba, Ferrans Torress, David de Hea, as well as other footballers will also contribute to the results.
Sweden is also not playing in the optimal line-up in the final tournament, because Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has returned to the national team, cannot participate in the championship due to injury. Due to Covid-19, the talented Dejan Kuluševskis and Matīss Svanberjs will not be able to participate in the first match. Experienced striker Marcus Berth came to the rescue, but Alexander Isaac gives the spark of youth. Midfielder Emil Fosberg plays a big role in shaping the attack.
