In a recent interview, Declan Rice asserted that, in the lead-up to next month’s European Championships, England should win a big title.

One of Gareth Southgate’s key players as England prepare to compete in Germany, the Arsenal star has been on fire since joining the club from West Ham for £105 million last summer.

After disappointingly reaching the final against Italy at Wembley in 2021, Southgate’s squad is widely fancied to go the far this time around.

However, according to Rice’s comments in Me𝚗’s Health UK, the team has an even more remarkable chance now, three years later.

‘You need to back yourself to win with the team we’ve got, the players we have, and everyone in form playing well,’ Rice added. I feel like this is our opportunity; the moment has come. Tell me the reasons you can’t do it.

They are a kind crew to part ways with, and we have an excellent manager and supportive team behind the scenes. This summer, we have the opportunity to accomplish something extraordinary.

The 25-year-old midfielder appeared completely at ease as he posed for a plethora of images for the cover of the magazine, which included an interview with Rice.

In a similar vein, Rice said he had “full confidence” in his ability to succeed under Mikel Arteta after arranging his transfer from east London, suggesting he was unconcerned about his hefty transfer fee.

“I was purchased for a substantial sum of money,” Rice went on to sаy. So I was aware that I could play well. My belief in my ability to make a difference was unwavering.

The pricing is no longer a topic of conversation. The sum was substantial, without a doubt. The audience will decide whether I’m justified.

Even if you put in a ton of time at the gym and lift a ton of weights and do a ton of footwork, Rice says that having a strong mind is more important than any amount of physical strength. Having self-assurance is crucial.

The most important thing for me is to maintain a weekly performance of seven or eight out of ten. How one thinks is crucial. Arsenal manager Arteta has given us some insight into the inner workings of the human brain. When you make a poor pass or lose possession of the ball and the other team scores, it’s simple to withdrаw mentally. But I’ve realized that it’s useless to wallow in self-pity.
