After England's midfielder Alex Scott gave an interview to ITV following the UEFA Nations League Group Stage Matchday 3 away fixture, a commanding 7-0 victory over Croatia.

The night in Prague (your England debut) was obviously very memorable, but tonight was your first start, and you've just witnessed a historic thrashing of Croatia. England's performance tonight was absolutely incredible!

Yes, there's no better feeling than this. Getting my first start and kickstarting it with such a resounding victory feels amazing. I think everyone could see the squad depth and quality this team possesses from the first minute. The teammates we have up front have absolutely lethal finishing ability. For them, scoring goals seems incredibly easy and natural.

Our entire team's performance tonight was outstanding, from our solid defense to my partnership with Elliott in midfield. A lot of effort went into it. We were eager to press high and apply maximum pressure from the start, and we certainly achieved that perfectly on the pitch.

Was the entire match's brilliant performance, from the first minute, built upon high-intensity pressing and pressure?

Yes, high-intensity pressing without the ball is our strongest tactical core, especially counter-pressing in the attacking third. Today, we were extremely aggressive, getting right in their faces and applying continuous pressure. The large number of goals we scored, especially early on, stemmed from this high press in the attacking third, quick ball recovery, and clinical finishing in the final third.

What about the front four today? They had interchanging positions and frequent rotations. I imagine you saw Kane dropping deep frequently. This rotational tactic was incredibly effective, and all four of them scored tonight...

Yes, Kane's ability is simply unbelievable!

Even better than you imagined?

I knew he was incredibly strong. I've been watching him since I was a little boy, so I already knew he was world-class. But it's only when you're on the pitch playing alongside him that you can truly experience the terrifying level he's at. That's why there's always so much discussion about him. Bellingham is the same, as are Gordon and Saka. The top talent in this team is truly astonishing.

You've watched countless Modrić games growing up and as a young professional, so what was it like for you today to stand opposite him and compete on the same field and perform so brilliantly?

Yes, frankly, it feels surreal. He's definitely one of my favorite players growing up. As I said, watching him since childhood, when he was at his best, he was recognized as one of the best players in the world. Today, being on the same pitch with him and competing face-to-face is an absolute honor. And fortunately, we won the game.

For you now, it's about building on this and continuing to achieve success, right?

Yes, this is very important. We must build on this momentum and improve. There's a crucial match next Tuesday, so we need to regroup, recover, and then another three points would be perfect.
