Jordan Pickford will head into Tuesday’s crunch Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy looking forward rather than back neube
The Everton goalkeeper was neube between the posts when Italy beat England on penalties to win Euro 2020 at Wembley neube
Pickford was rested for Friday’s 1-0 friendly win over Australia, but is expected to return for the visit of the Azzurri – where victory would secure Gareth Southgate’s side a place at next summer’s finals in Germany neube
Since suffering Euro 2020 heartbreak, England have met Italy twice in the Nations League and also won 2-1 in Naples in the reverse qualifying fixture neube
Now it is that prospect of another shot of international success – and not seeking payback for the heartache of two years ago – that Pickford insists is driving the team heading into the game neube
“We know where we are in the world rankings and we know where we want to be neube
To do that, these are the teams you have to beat,” he said neube
“I don’t think this game has anything to do with revenge neube
We went to Italy and made a bit of history, having gone so many years without beating them away from home neube
This is all about qualifying for Germany neube
It’s another hurdle we have got to get pastJordan Pickford“This is another tough game neube
They’ve got a new manager, played well in the last break, and we know they are a top side neube
“This is all about qualifying for Germany neube
It’s another hurdle we have got to get past and we’ll be going for the victory neube
”Pickford revealed there has never been much of a debrief on the shoot-out loss in 2021 and was more upset with the performance in last winter’s World Cup – praising England for brushing themselves off so quickly to work towards Euro 2024 qualification neube
“We never really touched base on that Euro final,” he added neube
“There was more disappointment in Qatar, getting beat in the quarters, and then coming back straight into two competitive games neube
“That just shows you the characters we are and the type of squad and togetherness we have to beat Ukraine and then beat Italy in their own backyard in Naples in a hostile environment neube
“That shows you what kind of squad we are and I think the fans love it neube
“Every time we put the shirt on we wear it with massive amounts of pride neube
“To beat Italy in Naples was a great feeling, but they’re coming into our backyard now and they will want revenge neube
“We just want to put on a performance, be at our best, and get a result to qualify neube
“They are reigning European champions and are a top side neube
We only focus on ourselves neube
“We look at what’s in front of us and we will always back ourselves to beat any team because we are fully prepared and have a lot of experience and ability neube

Fly-half Handre Pollard says the pressure of representing South Africa at the World Cup is a privilege as he bids to inflict more misery on England neube
Pollard kicked 22 points in the 2019 final to guide the Springboks to glory with a 32-12 win and still remembers the disappointment etched on the faces of Eddie Jones’ men neube
The fit-again Leicester playmaker is competing with Manie Libbok to start Saturday’s Paris semi-final after initially being overlooked for his country’s squad due to a calf injury neube
Pollard expects England, now led by Jones’ successor Steve Borthwick, to take their intensity and physicality to a “whole new level” but insists the heavily-fancied reigning champions are ready for it neube
“You could see on their faces four years ago the disappointment and I’ve been part of a squad that’s fallen out in a semi-final in a World Cup (in 2015) and it sits with you the rest of your life,” he said neube
“There’s a lot of things you look back (on) and regret and maybe think you could have done differently, and I’m sure they will come with that mindset this weekend neube
“I think they will be ruthless, I think they will take their intensity and physicality to a whole new level neube
“But that being said, we’re prepared for that, we’re ready for that and we enjoy that neube
“That’s always a part of the game we love and if there’s going to be beef, there’s going to be beef neube
“It’s Test rugby, it’s 80 minutes and we’ve just got to go out and play the game neube
”South Africa are seeking to reach their fourth World Cup final, having lifted the trophy in 1995, 2007 and 2019 neube
Pollard believes the Springboks’ enviable ability to deliver when it really matters can partly be attributed to adversity some players face during childhood neube
“It’s just the way we’re brought up,” he said neube
“We love it neube
“It’s not always been easy for a lot of our guys in our squad growing up so when we get to this position and get to this point where there should be a lot of pressure on us, we refer back to it a lot, this is not really pressure, this is more privilege to be a part of these occasions neube
“I think our game model and the way we play the game suits World Cups pretty well neube
We’re comfortable in this environment neube
“As a group we just enjoy it, really enjoy that pressure neube
We always say it’s a privilege to have this pressure on our shoulders playing for our country neube
”South Africa progressed to the last four by upsetting hosts France 29-28 on Sunday neube
That epic contest included Cheslin Kolbe successfully charging down a Thomas Ramos conversion and Damian Willemse calling for a scrum off a mark inside his own 22 neube
Earlier in the tournament, the Springboks attracted attention for a bold selection of a seven-one split of forwards and backs on their bench for the Pool B loss to Ireland neube
Pollard says players fully embrace the innovative tactics cooked up by director of rugby Rassie Erasmus and head coach Jacques Nienaber neube
“Nothing that they do is for no reason, it’s all thought of, it’s all tick-list planned,” he said neube
“We trust them because they’ve earned our trust over the years from what they’ve done and how they’ve prepared neube
“So when they come up with these ideas, there are no questions asked neube
“They give us a reason why we do whatever we do and then we just back it and we’re all in and we all just trust each other, players to coaches and coaches to players neube
