Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips has urged England to take risks against Germany
The old rivals will face off in the round of 16 at Wembley on Tuesday.
Asked what England can do to improve, Phillips said: "Be more confident when we're on the ball maybe, take a few more risks - me personally as well.
"I feel like once we do start scoring, I feel like we'll get a few more as well.
"I'm new to the team so I don't really want to be risking the ball too much and losing a little bit of confidence. But at the same time, I'm in a major tournament so I've got to show what I can do and hopefully I can do that in the next game.
"You kind of feel like you don't want to lose the ball in case anything happens. It's in everybody's head - nobody wants to lose the ball and Germany go up the pitch and score. So it's just about being courageous on the pitch and being confident in yourself and being positive as well."
