Theo Walcott said: “Everyone’s been saying how England are slow burners, but I’m just pleased that in tournament football, I don’t care how you play as long as you get results. Slowly but surely, England have started to play at a level where England can go even further. What I like is the confidence flowing through the whole team. You look at Kalvin Phillips, he was in the Championship the year before and seeing how he’s developed into one of the first names on the team sheet. Everyone questioning Gareth at times, he’s the manager and knows what he’s doing and he’s showing that now. Everyone’s smiling and so happy. It’s all positive energy. That’s why I feel like we are going to get far.”
SAINTS star Theo Walcott believes England will “get far” at Euro 2020, as they face a crunch quarter-final tie with Ukraine in Rome tonight (8pm).
