England defender, Harry Maguire has come out to say that he never feared for his international career during tough times on and off the field in the summer of 2020. He recently revealed that he always knew where he stood for club and country despite the trying period.
According to him, it was a very difficult time for him and his family but he already moved on from it and he is now focusing on playing his best football.
Maguire added that Gareth Southgate’s support for him has been brilliant since he made my debut for England and he is very grateful.
His words, “I never feared for my international career. Without getting into too much detail of what went off last summer, I knew where I stood in regards to that.”
“I always knew what went off. I’m totally over it. It was a tough time, for sure, but I’ve moved on.”
“Gareth’s support of me has been brilliant since I made my debut for England. Ever since, when I’ve been available, I’ve pretty much played in every game possible. That gives me great confidence, belief and trust.”
“Every time I step onto the pitch I’m trying to repay the faith and the trust.”
“I’ve had lots of conversations, lots of texts, lots of phone calls from Gareth. And then speaking to him when I’ve come into camp he’s always there to help.”
“It’s impossible to go through a career without having bad moments and making mistakes. Gareth passes on his experiences and the way he handles things and I’m always open to learning and improving.”
“I can’t speak highly enough of Gareth and what he has done for me personally and the trust and faith he has put in me.”
“It was a challenging time but I am proud of the way I handled it and came through it.”
“But four days before that game we had just beaten the number one ranked team in the world, Belgium, and I played 90 minutes and had a big part to play in that game.”
“My touch was perhaps a bit off (against Denmark) – it was definitely off for the second booking I got. When I was walking off the pitch, of course I felt low. I felt like I was letting my team down.”
“But mistakes happen and you bounce back and I am proud of the way I have handled myself from then on.”
“It was important that I came back strong and performed well for Manchester United. I ended up scoring in a victory against Newcastle in our next match.”
