Pickford aims to remain England's top goalkeeper
Jordan Pickford is determined to prove he remains England's No. 1 goalkeeper under new manager Thomas Tuchel. He spoke recently at a press conference, showing his readiness to adapt to changes in the team. Pickford is one of four goalkeepers selected by Tuchel. Although he has a strong history with the team, including 73 caps, he knows that competition is fierce. If he plays in the upcoming match against Albania, he will surpass legendary goalkeeper Gordon Banks in the number of appearances. The new coach of goalkeepers, Henrique Hilario, has brought a shift in training style. Tuchel has emphasized that all goalkeepers in the squad are seen as equals. This puts additional pressure on Pickford, as he must prove himself again. Despite the challenges, Pickford is motivated. He stated that his main goal is to be the best goalkeeper he can be, which he hopes will lead him to 100 caps. He is eager to learn from Hilario and adapt his playing style to meet team expectations. Everton manager David Moyes believes in Pickford's abilities. He praised Pickford's talent and leadership, suggesting that he can maintain his position as England's top choice for years to come. Moyes noted that great goalkeepers often peak later in their careers. Pickford has faced questions about his place, especially with rising talents like Aaron Ramsdale. However, he feels he has consistently performed well for England. He aims to continue improving and hopes to surpass the accomplishments of former players he admired, like Joe Hart.
