England striker Ollie Watkins attended a press conference ahead of the Euro final on July 15th at 3:00 AM, Spain vs England.
Still a chance to win the Golden Boot?
“As a striker, you obviously want to score more goals, but everyone is focused on the collective prize.”
On Spain, the opponents in the final
“I think they’ve been the best team in the Euros so far, their biggest weapon is clearly the two wingers, they’re very dynamic, young and confident.”
Spain’s key player
“Based on my experience and his achievements at Manchester City, I would say Rodri, he’s crucial because he controls the game. Everyone knows his talent, he’s a world-class player. He plays a vital role in their build-up from midfield.”
On Lamine Yamal
“He’s a once-in-a-generation talent, not many people break through at the age of 16 to score against France. He has a bright future, he’s doing better than I was at 17. Of course, there’s a lot of hype around him from Barcelona and Spain, sometimes he needs someone to remind him to stay grounded and focused.”
Last year’s Euro final defeat
“To be honest, I don’t need to talk about the Euro final last year. It’s just an experience you’ve had, it means something to you, you learn from it so you don’t make the same mistakes.”
England’s three strikers
“I think me, Kane, and Ivan Toney, the three of us have different attributes, which gives the coach a headache, but it’s a good headache.”
Villa manager Unai Emery
“I haven’t been in contact with him, because I don’t have his number. Emery demands a lot, his meetings are quite long. He and Southgate are both good coaches, but with different methods.”
