At 3:00 AM on June 20th, Scotland will face off against Switzerland in the second round of Group A of the European Championship. Scotland manager Steve Clarke attended the pre-match press conference.
About the opponent Switzerland
Switzerland is a huge challenge. They are very strong, and we’re facing a tough battle. The next two games are crucial, and the outcome we want is still in our hands.
About Switzerland’s tactics in their first game
I think that’s how they are increasing the efficiency of their team system. It’s not a huge change. I don’t know if this was a tactic they specifically used against Hungary or if it is aimed at us too. We won’t know until the game kicks off.
Comparing Xhaka with Kroos
You’re trying to get me in trouble with this question. Listen, they are very similar players, and they control the game in very similar ways. I know Kroos is a key player for Germany, and we didn’t contain him very well. I know Xhaka is a key player for Switzerland. Hopefully, we’ll do better this time.
About what adjustments Scotland will make
For us, the first game’s defeat is a chance to reintegrate the team. We’ll start fresh. It’s as simple as that. We’ll correct our mistakes and try to perform better. In the last game, I thought we were prepared. But we weren’t. In this game, I hope to say less and use our actions on the field to show our opponent how prepared we are. I hope the result of the game is beautiful.
