“First of all, I like to think you can have fun without drinking alcohol. It’s important to say that. And as Aaron Ramsdale said, it’s up to us on the pitch to bring joy, to entertain. I felt that in all the matches I played, the atmosphere depends on the style of play that is offered. So it’s up to us and all the teams in the tournament to play exciting football. This is what will generate beautiful atmospheres in the stadiums. Football is the most important thing to create that. Players and fans feed off each other and we have to be the ones to initiate that with good football. Let’s hope for us that many goals are scored and not conceded. Football is the fundamental element to create this environment.”
