“Towards the start of the week it’s more small sided games, intense stuff,” Watkins began.
“The the closer you get to the game you’re working on the opposition, what you’re going to do, how you’re going to go about the game plan.
“It’s [focus] all about the small details later on in the week.”
England’s first game against Serbia is fast approaching with points likely to be at a premium in a tough group, also featuring Denmark and a Benjamin Sesko-led Slovenia.
