Arsenal's Declan Rice Sets Sights on Euro 2024 Triumph with England After Premier League Heartbreak.
Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice, determined to bounce back from last season's Premier League disappointment, is aiming to clinch success at Euro 2024 with England.
Rice played a pivotal role for Arsenal as they narrowly missed out on the Premier League title, finishing just two points behind champions Manchester City after a thrilling title race.
Reflecting on the missed opportunity, Rice emphasized the importance of shifting focus to the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament. "The only thing that would get me over not winning the Premier League is winning the Euros," he expressed ahead of England's final warm-up game against Iceland.
The 25-year-old, who contributed significantly to Arsenal's campaign with seven goals and eight assists, views Euro 2024 as a chance to achieve something special for his country. "To win something for your country would be one of the pinnacles of football," Rice stated, highlighting the significance of the upcoming tournament.
Rice, alongside his Arsenal teammates Aaron Ramsdale and Bukayo Saka, as well as rivals from Manchester City such as Kyle Walker, John Stones, and Phil Foden, aims to bring a winning mentality to the England squad. "We want to take that [winning mentality] now into the summer," he asserted, drawing inspiration from City's success in the Premier League.
With 50 international caps under his belt, Rice is one of the experienced figures in Gareth Southgate's squad. Despite being the oldest midfielder in the team, he sees himself as a guide for younger players and is ready to share his knowledge and experience.
Rice also praised the inclusion of young talents like Kobbie Mainoo and Adam Wharton in the squad, highlighting their potential to contribute positively to England's midfield. "The future's looking bright in midfield," he commented, emphasizing the promising talent coming through the ranks.
As England prepares for Euro 2024, Rice remains focused on the task at hand, determined to make a significant impact and help his team achieve success on the international stage.
