00:00 Very special. It's hard to describe really, you chase this goal for your whole life, your whole footballing career
00:07 and then you finally get it. It just means everything to me.
00:11 It was never a thought for me, and that's no disrespect to Scotland at all.
00:21 I just think I've been tunnel-visioned on playing for England since I was five, six years old
00:26 and nothing could ever shake that off and I could never forgive myself if I never got to this point.
00:32 I don't think there's a better game, to be honest. Brazil's national team, as you said, is just so rich in history,
00:43 so many good players, and with the squad we've got at the minute, I don't think there's a better game in national football.
00:54 He's very passionate and he's the same. He's so determined as a person, so I think he could see that fire in me,
01:00 which is not a bad thing, it just needs some guidance, especially at a young age.
01:05 And he was the right man to guide me.
01:07 For me it was always Rooney and Gerrard, because they were from similar areas from where I'm from.
01:17 I just always used to run around in the garden from the youngest age I can remember and try and recreate goals,
01:24 create my own types of goals, and I looked up to them massively.
01:28 Of course, that's my goal. That's my biggest aim that I've got at the minute, to be in that squad,
01:37 so I'm going to manifest if I'm not booking any holidays.
01:42 I don't think I've ever been as consistent in my career so far. I don't think I've ever been as ready as I am now.
01:48 And I'm quite thankful for that because I get to show a good account of myself now.
01:52 They've just got better and better and better, and we're probably now in the strongest position that we've been in a long time.
01:57 (upbeat music)
01:59 you
