CZECH REP U-21 v ENGLAND U-21
KICK-OFF: 5pm REFEREE: Horatiu Fesnic (Rom)WEST HAM star Ben Johnson hopes Euro success will be kids’ play for England’s Under-21s as they bond over chess and the children’s game Guess Who?
Lee Carsley’s side open their European Championship campaign today against Czech Republic, with games against Israel and holders Germany over the next week in Group C.
Johnson says the FA have created a club atmosphere to bond the squad, including plenty of laughs when they are not training.
It mirrors what Gareth Southgate’s staff provided during the World Cup, and aims to get players out of their rooms and enjoying what could be a three-week-plus stay in Georgia.
Johnson says the England squad regard themselves as one of the tournament favourites because of their perfect qualifying record.
It is England’s ninth finals tournament in a row but they have not won it since 1984.
