NIZHNY NOVGOROD, Russia, June 23 -- Panama's starting lineup against England on Sunday's World Cup Group G match will be the same as they fought against Belgium, said Panama's coach Hernan Gomez on Saturday.
"The lineup will be exactly the same," Gomez said. "I like how my team works. We have a certain stability and an organized team."
Regarding the game against England on Sunday, the Colombian tactician said the match will be very tough for Panama and urged his team to "concentrate 100 percent for the full 90 minutes".
"If we are distracted, even for a millisecond, we are going to suffer. We need to put in a lot of tactical work and organization in our defense. Otherwise, we'll suffer a lot because of the type of team that England is," he added.
Gomez also praised England's players for their diligence and technical level.
"We have watched footage of England. England worked very hard," the 62-year-old coach said, "They recover ball possession very quickly. They speed up play very quickly and have a one-touch approach which is amazing. They also have a great deal of depth on the bench."
"It's going to be our hardest match by far," he added.
Panama, who lost to Belgium 2-0 in their opening game, need a least one point on Sunday to preserve their hope of surviving the World Cup group stage.
