“A difficult match, but we always believed in qualifying“. These are Harry’s words Kanestriker ofEngland following the 2-1 victory against Slovakia in the match valid for the round of 16 of Euro 2024. “We believed in it until the end, in a very tough match – the English captain began -. In the second half we were almost out of the tournament, but the work done during the week on long throw-in situations paid off. Bellingham scored an incredible goal, as was the support from the fans. Jude is one of the best in this national team, he works so hard to be so strong and come out in moments of difficulty like he did tonight. We have many quality players, even on the bench. Everyone who entered contributed, doing an incredible job. We are in the quarter-finals and we must continue like this. We need to enjoy the moment and use this momentum to move forward in the tournament“.
So instead Jude Bellingham: “We played well, and apart from their goal we suffered little. We could have been more cynical, but we still showed a lot of character. Playing for England is a great thing, but there’s a lot of pressure at the same time. Being on the pitch and scoring is something fantastic for me, I’m very happy. Scoring like this 30 seconds before your national team is eliminated is something you never want to experience so as not to be in these situations, but when it happens it’s incredible“.
