In the UEFA Nations League A matchday 4, England defeated the Czech Republic 3-0 at home. Following the match, Morgan Rogers gave an interview to media in the mixed zone.

Morgan, you've seen the Nations League season finish positively, but I'd like to ask you about H. Kane's form tonight. He equalled Peter Shilton's England appearance record and performed brilliantly. What's it like playing alongside him? What does he mean to the England national team?

He's an indispensable core player—the soul and heart of English football for a long time. The fact that he continues to push himself, works tirelessly, covers the pitch, and consistently performs at the highest level is the best testament to his greatness. Having 125 caps at this point is incredible, and it's a genuine honour to play alongside him.

Does he seem hungrier for victory than ever before?

Absolutely. Since I've joined the England squad, I've felt he's grown even stronger—whether it's his demands on himself, his commitment in matches, or his overall quality. He's reached another level entirely. It's almost unbelievable from an outsider's perspective, and I'm in awe. It shows his professionalism, his incredible work ethic, his dedication, and his desire to succeed for England. He consistently delivers performances that are exceptional. It's brilliant to play alongside him.

As an ambitious young player keen to make your mark on the England team, what's it like having H. Kane as captain to guide you? Is he a role model you admire? Is he someone you can always turn to for advice? And is he someone you aspire to emulate and follow in the future?

Of course. He might well be the greatest player in English football history already. If someone put his name forward as an all-time great, I don't think anyone could genuinely argue against it. So he's absolutely a role model I admire—someone you aspire to be. In daily training, you can learn the little technical details from him, observe his approach, how he maintains his body, and his mental strength to stand firm no matter what happens. A football career has its ups and downs, and he's experienced lows, but he's always bounced back to the top through determination, hard work, and his deep love for representing England. You can see this clearly in every match he plays.

The World Cup ended bitterly this summer, and this unique training camp includes four matches in a short space of time. Over these four games, have the players begun to understand and absorb Thomas Tuchel's tactical intent? Has the entire team truly come together as a single unit? Because at least from the outside, the coordination seems to have improved.

Yes, I think this has been an excellent training camp. Everyone has worked hard to shake off the disappointment from the World Cup. When we arrived, we all still carried that sadness—we came so close to our goal. Though we didn't beat Spain, the process was very positive. The way we played and how we reviewed that match showed the England team we imagine and want to be going forward. We carried that momentum into the next three games, and the whole team played brilliantly—scored some excellent goals and kept the clean sheets we needed. So the atmosphere has been very positive. Thinking back to the World Cup still brings sadness and pain, but you must look ahead. A new journey is beginning, and you can't stop. We'll continue forward with determination.

Congratulations, Morgan. You've only recently started your England career, yet you're now competing in major tournaments and have become a key squad member. How has this journey been for you?

It's incredibly interesting and enjoyable. Representing your country is every young boy's dream from childhood, and being selected consistently, being here, and playing is something I'll never take for granted. I'm always trying to improve and develop. I feel I've passed the initial adaptation phase, and now it's time to step up and deliver strong performances in big matches and important moments. That's my main goal going forward: to contribute more and take on a bigger role in the team when needed. I'm genuinely enjoying the process. It's a long journey, and with so many top-level players in the squad, you have to fight hard to keep your place. The competition is intense and challenging, so I need to give my all to remain here.

You've adapted smoothly, no doubt. Finally, regarding H. Kane—there's been much discussion about whether he can win the Ballon d'Or. What do you think? Should he win it? Does he have a chance?

In my opinion, he absolutely deserves the Ballon d'Or. Look at what he's accomplished this year—throughout this season, he's completely dismantled people's old perceptions about his abilities. He won the league, scored a hat-trick in the final, scored for England, and scored prolifically for FC Bayern Munich. What more could he do? Looking back over his entire season, what could you ask for from him? A record like that deserves an award. I know I may be biased, and unfortunately I don't have voting rights, but if I did, my vote would undoubtedly go to him.
