Hot on the heels of England’s 3-0 win over WalesMarcus Rashford spoke at the microphone of the BBC and the least we can say is that the English striker was thrilled after the qualification of his selection for the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar. “It’s a great feeling. Moments like this, that’s why I play football. The greatest moments, the best moments. I’m happy that we are moving on to the next round of the tournament because I have huge ambitions for this team and I think we can play even better than today.” first said the Manchester United player.
The 25-year-old striker then returned to the disappointment against the United States and the performance of the English selection against the Welsh: “We were a bit disappointed after the USA result. I thought we could have played a lot better. And it was important to have a good performance in the next match. We defended brilliantly in the first half and it was just about killing the game early and taking risks in the game. At half-time the manager said we had played well but needed more shot attempts – I think we only had two or three at the time. We wanted to work the goalkeeper more and put ourselves in dangerous positions. Marcus Rashford then recounted how he took his free-kick from England’s opener. “I wanted to [d’un coup franc] in the first half, but it was a better position for the second. I just tried to be calm and do what you did in practice.” concluded man of the match.
