Eberechi Eze says he would step up to take a penalty for England at the World Cup despite missing in the Champions League final. The 27-year-old previously sent a spot kick wide against Paris Saint-Germain, a miss that came as Arsenal lost on penalties. Speaking after that setback, Eze says the outcome will not change his willingness to take another penalty if England are in a shootout. He also dismisses the idea that he needs to adjust his approach or technique, arguing that he would repeat the same process rather than alter his run-up.
Multiple reports note that Eze has received supportive messages from teammates and other players who have missed crucial penalties in their careers. He points to prior experiences as well, including penalties he has taken that were saved for Crystal Palace in previous matches. Overall, the accounts present Eze as confident in his ability and prepared to take responsibility if the situation arises again for England in a World Cup penalty shootout.
