The England midfielder appeared in a recent issue of Mens Health UK and shared his thoughts on England’s chances in Germany this summer.
Speaking to the magazine, he said: “With the team we have, the players we have and everyone fit and playing well, you need to back yourself to win.” I feel like it’s our chance; is the time.
‘What excuses can you make? We have a great manager and great staff behind the scenes and they are a good group to leave with. “We can do something really special this summer.”
