Rice: England aim to win 2026 World Cup, we have world-class players

October 17th When asked about his expectations for next summer’s World Cup, England midfielder Rice gave his answer.

Rice: "We want to win the championship, and that may sound a little bold, but we are England and we have world-class players on the pitch. It would be a weak mentality if we didn't think that way."

"We all want to win the World Cup, that would be a big achievement in our careers. You see. It means a lot to the best players in the world to have won it, but now we need to be ready for that moment."

"I feel like I'm in the best physical shape I've ever been at this point in the season and I feel very strong when you're in football. One of the important things. I've been feeling very confident the past few years. ”

“I am also more confident in the team. I feel like I'm one of the senior players in the England squad now. It's taken me a few years to get to this stage in this England team but tonight is my 70th appearance. Time flies so fast, I am still only 26 years old. "

"I just have to keep working hard and keep performing well. I'm part of the leadership team, my teammates ask for my advice, I have a good rapport with the younger players, and I have a great rapport with the older players. It's good to be able to bridge the gap between the two. I hope to help the team in any way I can and look forward to next summer. "
