Slovakia trained on ahead of their upcoming international friendlies against Latvia and the Republic of Ireland as they finalise their European Championship preparations.

SOUNDBITE (English) Robert Mak, Slovakia midfielder:

"I think every game in the Euros is very special because every game is difficult. Every game is very important because you only play three games and you must pass the group. From the first till the last game it will be very difficult and of course it's special for Slovakia because it is the first time that we are in the Euros so it's very special for us and we can't wait to go there and play every game that is possible to play."

SOUNDBITE (English) Robert Mak, Slovakia midfielder:

"We set the target that we want to pass from the group. This is the target for Slovakia and we will see how far we can go but we have to start from the first game and go game to game and of course we want to pass the group and after it's only about one game and we will see what will happen."

SOUNDBITE (English) Robert Mak, Slovakia midfielder:

"Of course we have two very good friendly games and we want to win every game. Now we have a friendly against Latvia and Ireland and we want to play good games to prepare the best Slovakia for the Euros."
