England midfielder Declan Rice insists his players are doing everything they can to protect Gareth Southgate. After United came from behind to equalise in stoppage time and then win in extra time.

“I can’t describe the feeling of representing England. Euro 16, you look at your watch and think, ‘We can go home from here.’

“The players said there was only one minute left and there was a fight and spirit in us. We were united tonight. We will do everything to protect this manager. Keep fighting. It’s an honour to be part of that. We will keep going.”UFABET 

Rice also said of Jude Bellingham: “It’s crazy because if it was me it would have gone over the bar!”

“It’s a big moment for a 21-year-old, it takes a lot of courage. People don’t understand what you have to go through to get in the goal.”

“We don’t play blind, they are top players, they shadow us. It’s about waiting for those moments when the game drags on and we create more chances.”

“To the fans tonight, I can’t say enough about them. Thank you so much for all of them being here to experience that.”

“We’ll keep going and keep fighting and what we’ve got as a group tonight showed out there. It’s an honour to be a part of it and we’re going to give it everything.”Southgate
