Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice is ready to take on a greater role for England with the Euros.
Rice and England face Belgium this week in a friendly.
Me and Gareth have had that conversation before privately that I can be a leader, can be more vocal in the dressing room," Rice said. I love helping my team-mates, I love putting them first. I think that's a really important quality to have."
It's the biggest thing you can do, winning something for your country," Rice added in an interview with ITV. Your name just gets put in a completely different light.
We were obviously so close in [the Euros in] 2021.The reaction we had, coming out after losing the final, people coming up to you in the street, was a whole other level to what I'd experienced. To have the challenge of winning it on foreign soil is one I'm looking forward to."
