On July 13, England forward Watkins attended the pre-match press conference for the European Cup final against Spain, and compared England’s playing style to Real Madrid.
Speaking about England’s performance in this tournament, Watkins said: “You can look at teams like Real Madrid in the Champions League: they are comfortable without the ball, and when they have the ball they are confident they can score.”
“I think the same situation is happening with England, we are a very difficult team to beat, and we only need one chance to win the game.”
“Whether we play well or not, or whether a certain player has a bad day, it doesn’t really matter. We have so many talented players in the team, which gives us the chance to score at any moment.”
In addition, Watkins also talked about the Ballon d’Or, saying: “I think Bellingham deserves the Ballon d’Or no matter what the outcome is. He’s been mature, confident, infectious in his performances, I can’t speak highly enough of him. I played against him when he was at Birmingham, and to see his transformation now, he’s a very mature player.”
