FODEN'S THE MAN TO RISE TO THE BIG OCCASION
Evening Standard
|June 20, 2024
WALKER BACKS PHIL TO FIRE
ENGLAND defender Kyle Walker has backed his Manchester City team-mate Phil Foden to "rise to the big occasions" at Euro 2024 and says the forward deserves to be judged on the whole tournament, rather than their opening game.
Foden (right, yesterday) is set to keep his place on the left of England's front three for this afternoon's second group game against Denmark here in Frankfurt.
The Premier League player of the year was subdued on the ball as Gareth Southgate's side began the Euros with a patchy 1-0 win over Serbia, although the manager believes he did "an exceptional job".
Walker said: "I don't think one game defines a player. It's a season or a tournament that defines a player. Especially with Phil coming off the back of the season he had, I don't think one 90 minutes should be scrutinised as much as I'm being told it is.
