Nov. 17 (Bloomberg) - At the conclusion of yesterday's
World Cup
England beat San Marino 10-0 in the European qualifier. The 21-year-old Gallagher came on as a substitute in the second half of the game, finishing his debut in the adult national team of England. After the game, he accepted the
solar
Newspaper interview about his debut and the help he received from Salon manager Vieira.
This season, Gallagher was
Chelsea
On loan at Crystal Palace, speaking about his time with Vieira, he stated:" It's really great to play under Vieira, who used to be the
England Premier Soccer League
One of the best players and I can learn a lot from him. He will help me a lot tactically and with his knowledge of the game. But most importantly, he knows my strengths on the pitch and he will tell me how to play to them. So, in games I'll be allowed to get into the box and be part of the attack and do what I do best, and that's part of the reason why we've had good results this season."
Speaking about his adult team debut, Gallagher was clearly shaken, saying, " I didn't think for a second that Southgate would call me up to the adult team, I didn't think for a second that I would be here. I was already preparing for my next game with my U21 teammates, and then Southgate called me and asked me to sign for the adult team, which made me feel ecstatic . At that time, I did not think so much, I just hope I can have a few minutes of playing time is satisfied, so I can finish my adult team debut, very thankful that he can let me fulfill my wish. To be honest, I was very serious about coming to the adult team because there are a lot of star players in the team, but I am very thankful for the opportunity to get close to these star players. I used to play in the
England Premier Soccer League
I've played against them on the field of play, but it's a very different experience from representing your country together. They are very good players and very passionate, they are all very nice."
