In the exciting moment when England killed Holland 2-1 and advanced to the final of the European Cup, Watkins, who came on as a substitute, became the focus of the whole game. He not only helped the team lock up the victory with a golden goal, but also showed his confidence and strong belief in the team in the post-match interview.
Watkins excitedly recalled the tacit understanding between himself and Palmer, and he insisted that he had predicted that Palmer would provide him with an assist. This kind of almost intuitive trust, not only from the deep friendship and long-term tacit understanding between the two, but also reflects the high degree of trust and collaboration between the players in the England team. When Palmer held the ball, Watkins did not hesitate to choose to sprint forward, because he knew his teammate would make the right choice.
After scoring the goal, Watkins could not hide his excitement and joy, and he confessed that he had waited for weeks for this moment and had worked hard for it. He appreciated the trust and opportunity given to him by his coach and teammates, and proudly stated that he had seized this valuable opportunity and contributed to the team's victory.
Watkins showed maturity and sanity when it came to the criticisms from the outside world. He called on everyone to forget about the irrelevant criticisms and focus on the upcoming challenges the team will face in the finals. He firmly believes that as long as the whole team is united, nothing is impossible.
In addition, Watkins also made special mention of the team's resilience and perseverance in adversity. Whether it was winning through a penalty shootout or reversing their opponents in a match, the England team never gave up their desire and pursuit of victory. This kind of spiritual strength is the important reason why they can come forward at the critical moment and create miracles.
Finally, Watkins looked ahead to the upcoming final. He said that the whole team is fully prepared and will go all out for the final victory. He believes that as long as the current state and fighting spirit is maintained, the England team will be able to create more history and splendor.
