England

Harry Kane on qualities of Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dusan Tadic:

"He's [Mitrovic] a goalscorer and he's proven that throughout his career for club and country. With Tadic, he's a brilliant player and technically really gifted. They're two players we're obviously aware of and will be tomorrow night."

Gareth Southgate has his say:

"Mitrovic holds the ball up well and he's an outstanding goalscorer but they're not the only two players in the Serbia team that we have to make sure we deal with. They have some great players right across the pitch."

England

Gareth Southgate on Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham becoming part of leadership group (with Harry Kane and Kyle Walker):

"I want the opinions of the four boys. They are different age groups so they'll pick up what's going on in the different areas of the squad because it's not easy to keep track of how everyone is feeling. You need that dialogue sometimes because they might be a bit more reluctant to approach the coach or manager so you want to know what's going on in the ground.

"The two younger boys are leaders, the squad is taking on a younger dynamic so it's so important that they start to embrace responsibility. It's not just for the older players to lead the younger players have big-match experience too. I could've put more into the group but I think four is enough. We'll talk regularly and feed back on everything."

England

Gareth Southgate on Euro 2024 potentially being his last major tournament as England boss:

"I hate to put pressure on all the coaches but it could be the last tournament for all of them. This is the world we're in. I'm probably more relaxed about it because I've been to three, I know how it goes and how these events play out.

"I'm very fortunate to have great players with a great spirit and great staff that work with me. I'm determined to make sure we don't miss anything to give ourselves the very best opportunity."

England

Gareth Southgate on leadership group:

"I think we have a very open relationship with all of the players. We've put a small leadership group together for this tournament with Harry, Kyle Walker, Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham. There's a different dynamic to this group with a lot of younger players. I don't want to leave here with any stone unturned. I don't want to miss anything. The players have good views."

England

Gareth Southgate pays tribute to Matija Sarkic and Kevin Campbell:

"I know that some of our players and staff actually played and worked with Matija as well so both pieces of news were received with shock and great sadness.

"Those boys that played with him are feeling that even more.

"Kevin was the same age as me he was in the Arsenal youth team at a similar time and playing against him in reserve team football. Of course you play against each other so often over the years, a hugely popular man. His son has also been in our junior pathway as well. Our thoughts are very much with his family at this time and some of the tributes have been fabulous, people who knew him better than I did talking about what an amazing character he was.

"A very sad day."

England

Gareth Southgate on availability:

"Everyone is available. We have a decision whether Luke [Shaw] is a possible to use from the bnech or not but everyone has trained today and is available."

On England v Serbia being classed as high risk:

"I expect everyone to enjoy the football. I've been forturnate to travel to a lot of football and they're great carnivals and great chances to meet people from different parts of the world. The whole of Europe can come together and support their team and get behind their team."

England

Harry Kane on threat of Serbia:

"Serbia have a lot of good qualities. Great attacking players who are known to be goal scorers for their clubs. They pose a lot of threat. We expect an aggressive team without the ball who defend really well.

"We're expecting a tough game and if we don't quite get it right we could be in for a tough night. W'll focus on ourselves as we always do."

England

Gareth Southgate on how Serbia set up:

"Dragan [Stojkovic] has different options, we know they can play in different systems and the strikers they have can cause problems to any team. They have a settled way of playing.

"We have to be able to deal with their strengths and try to exploit the weaknesses because every team in the tournament has weaknesses so that's the role of our work during the week."

England

Harry Kane on learning German:

"I don't think I can teach them anything but can tell them it's going to be difficult to learn. I've been doing it for a while now and it's tough. Maybe next year we can exchange a few words in German."

On Germany's 5-1 win over Scotland:

"Germany had a fantastic game, I have a lot of teammates in thta team. They had a fantastic start to the tournament and I wish them all the best. My focus is on tomorrow night with England."

England

Gareth Southgate on expectation around Jude Bellingham:

"From my perspective, he's a young player and one of a number of very important players in the team at Real Madrid. In this team, that load is spread. He has a fantastic mindset and the ability to adapt. He has coped so well at a young age. He's come into our squad and moved to the biggest club in the world. We have a responsibility as a team for all of our players. It's great to have the talented players that we have but the onus is on everyone to do their part."

England

England captain Harry Kane on the pressure of being favourites:

"Every tournament poses different expectations but we've earned the right to be classed as one of the favourites. But we look at ourselves individually and as a team and we know in part we've done a lot of things well and made the country proud in good tournaments.

"We're here to win ultimately and there will be nothing better than to do that for the nation.

"There's a lot of top teams and tomorrow night is our focus. We know how tough it was to get to the final last time and we're going to have to do that again and even more if we want to do that again. And hopefully one step further."

England

Harry Kane on potential Serbia difficulties:

"We want to win the game tomorrow evening but in the 90 minutes, anything can happen. We want to have a fantastic game and play in the style that we want to play. Without the ball, we want to be aggressive. Hopefully we go out tomorrow night and show a good side of ourselves."

England

Harry Kane on the Euro 2024 ball:

"I like the ball. I think it's good for a striker, it's flighty. When you strike it, it stays hit. I've had a bit of a different experience with the different ball in the Bundesliga. We use the Adidas ball quite a bit in Europe and I've obviously used the Nike ball in the Premier League. It's better for the goalscorers than it is for the goalkeepers so I'm not going to complain about that."

England

Gareth Southgate on managing England at another major tournament:

"Hugely excited - to lead your country into a major tournament is an amazing honour, a great privilege. It's just as exciting as it was ahead of Russia, if not more so."

On coping with the pressure of being one of the favourites:

"You've seen Germany play the way they did last night, Spain today. There are a lot of good teams in this tournament. We have to be exceptional to progress through the group and the opportunity to go further.

"Our focus is to qualify from the group. When you're trying to achieve exceptional things you have to break it down into chunks. First priority is to get through the group and work from there."

England

Harry Kane on will to win something:

"It would mean lot. I love playing for England. it means the world to me every time I step out on to the pitch wearing the shirt. Winning a trophy for your country would be the pinnacle of every career. It hasn't quite happened yet but it makes me more determined and hungry to go out and do that, starting with this summer. We have the opportunity to go out and do that and I'm looking forward to trying to make that happen."

England

England manager Gareth Southgate on how he will be perceived if he can guide England to Euros victory:

"I have been in the job for eight years, I understand the landscape. Everyone who has been in the job has experienced the same thing. I just try to prepare the team in the best possible way and we're really looking forward to the beginning of the tournament."

England

Harry Kane on potentially winning the Golden Boot:

"Of course I'm really looking forward to this tournament. Back in 2018 the Golden Boot was an amazing achievement. We want to win the European Championships and if I win the Golden Boot along the way then I'm obviously helping my team. We have some great goalscorers in the team with players in form who have had fantastic seasons. We're excited to get going tomorrow."

England

Gareth Southgate on challenge of Serbia:

"Very tough. They have good individual players, fantastic collective spirit. Dangerous forwards. We know this is a difficult opening game for us and we have to play at our very best to win the game."
