SOUTHGATE WARNED

-

campaign at Wembley on Friday night after crumbling under home pressure.

The Czech boss said: “Scotland played in a simple way – long-balls and tackles – and it was painful for us.

“They kicked long-balls at us and we needed a good defensive line. We had to get in a good mental shape to face them. We knew they would tackle and be aggressive. They did all that.

“The Scots play until the last minutes. They pushed and pressed. You need a good defence.” Silhavy says

England must also be wary of striker Schick, who netted both Czech goals, because he often tries to score from the halfway line.

England face Schick next Tuesday in the third Group D match, and Silhavy added: “The second goal was out of this world. He tries this in training and in a previous game too! These are not his last goals. He will continue like this.”

Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney has “a chance” of being fit to face England, after missing Scotland’s opener with an injury.
