Scotland striker Lyndon Dykes on what feels different about the squad at this tournament:<\/b> “Experience. Tournament football is very different. <\/p>\n

“You need to win points and games to stay in, but after the experiences of the last few Euros, the manager has come in a bit more relaxed. <\/p>\n

“We’ve had down days and he’s been a bit calmer.<\/p>\n

“We’ve had youngsters come in, who haven’t been in the squad very long, but it doesn’t feel like they’re new. They’ve taken it with both hands and we’ve eased them in.<\/p>\n

“The whole squad has learned and gelled a little bit more coming into this tournament. Knowing it’s going to be tough and relentless, but the experience in the squad and previous tournaments is definitely helping.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
