In the quarter-final of the European Cup on July 7, England successfully advanced to the quarter-finals by defeating Switzerland in a penalty shootout. After the match, Saka, the key player of England team, was interviewed by the media, sharing his journey and outlook for the future.
Saka spoke highly of the game, which he believes has special significance in his career. "I'm going to put this game in a special place," said Sacca, "We went through a tough fightback and ended up in a penalty shootout. The last time we had a penalty shootout in the Europa League, we all know what happened. But this time, we showed more will and determination."
Sacca looked particularly proud of his performance in the game. "I always believed that we dominated the whole game," he said, "The opportunity finally came and I took it and for that I'm proud of myself." Saka's goal was undoubtedly an injection of strength for England, and gave him a renewed sense of confidence after the Euro 2020 final where he conceded a penalty.
Sarkar shows maturity and openness about that overwhelming experience. "I believe in God," he said, "It's really hard to come out of that experience, but today I took my chance. It proves that I've come out of the shadows and that I'm capable of contributing to the team at crucial moments."
Looking ahead, Sarkar is full of confidence in the England team. "I think this game showed how much we want to win this tournament," he said, "We are hungry to win and are willing to do whatever it takes to do so. Hopefully we can win the next game in 90 minutes, but if it needs to go to extra time or even penalties, we will do whatever it takes to win."
