“It will be a difficult test.. We must remain focused and free of regrets.”
Henderson remarked. England midfielder Jordan Henderson says facing Germany in the European Championship final 16 will be a “special game” and an “exciting” possibility. It will be a difficult challenge.”
Henderson made his tournament debut on Tuesday, coming on as a half-time substitute for Declan Rice in England’s 1-0 win over the Czech Republic, which ensured the team finished first in Group D.
Germany pulled back from two goals down against Hungary on Wednesday to finish second in Group F and earn a last 16 match against Gareth Southgate’s side. Henderson stated, “They’re still a very good side.”
For them, there is quality all over the pitch..” We must prepare thoroughly and offer our all.”The match will be the fourth time England has met a German team in the knockout stages of a major event in the last 31 years.
England was eliminated on each occasion. West Germany won the World Cup in Italy on penalties in 1990, and they repeated the feat against England in the Euro 96 final.
Germany knocked England out of the 2010 World Cup in the last-16 stage.
