Euro 2020 Preview
After getting canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament will see its 60th year this year. Italy and Turkey will kick things off in a hotly anticipated match on the first day of the tournament, while France and England are the Euro 2020 favorites.
Per tourney rules, the top two teams in each of the six groups will move on to the round of 16, as will the four best third-placed finishers. There is one glaring concern the majority of the teams, however.
Tony Strudwick, head of performance for the Wales squad, told the New York Times that fatigue could be a huge factor — and may very well determine the outcomes — of some of the matches in this tourney. Many teams had a very minimal break between the end of the 2019-20 season and the beginning of their 2020-21 campaigns, and the strenuousness of it all could take its toll.
“There was barely any time off,” Strudwick said. “Normally there is a season, an international break, a split in the middle, and then you go again. This time, it was just a small break, and then into the next season, with games every three or four days and highly dense international periods.”
“It won’t go to form,” Strudwick added. “There will be upsets. It could be on the cards for a less-heralded team. It is going to be whoever utilizes their squad, maintains freshness, and navigates it best.”
