Jude Bellingham sends a BIG message ahead of England vs Slovakia in the UEFA Euro 2024 RO16 match

England's Jude Bellingham has warned that Slovakia will be a tough opponent when the two sides square off in Euro 2024. Bellingham underlined the task ahead even although Gareth Southgate's team looked to have a good draw against 45th-ranked Slovakia in the Round of 16.

The game was changed from England playing the Netherlands after Georgia's unexpected win over Portugal. Now slated to play Slovakia, Bellingham has cautioned that this would not be an easy match.

The Real Madrid player maintained that England has to improve if they are to defeat Slovakia. He underlined as well that the Three Lions cannot afford to be comfortable playing Francesco Calzona's side. Quoted by the Standard, Bellingham said:

“You’re always going to have tough games at this point of the tournament. People will obviously look at Slovakia and think it’s going to be an easy game. It’s definitely not the case. They’ll pose a different kind of threat, it’s a different kind of team to break down."

"Sometimes, when you play the nations that come at you more, it’s more open. It’ll be an interesting game, [but] it’s one that we’re confident we have enough in the room to win. I know the performances haven’t been as good as they can be, but it’s a great opportunity for us to get back to the level we need to be at.”

England has not performed well at all in Euro 2024, getting just one win and two draws in the group round. They opened their campaign with a slim 1-0 success against Serbia, followed by a 1-1 tie against Denmark and a goalless stalemate against Slovenia.

Bellingham started off his Euro adventure strongly by scoring a stunning header that delivered a critical 1-0 win against Serbia for Gareth Southgate's team. However, in subsequent encounters, the midfielder has found it tough to make a big impression.
