Jordan Pickford, England's goalkeeper, emphasizes the team's ability to achieve World Cup success without relying on penalty shootouts. Following a 2-0 victory over Panama, he highlighted the importance of maintaining a positive environment while preparing for knockout matches. Pickford noted that the team's tactical approach under coach Thomas Tuchel involves more risk-taking to enhance their attacking play.
With 46 clean sheets in 87 caps, Pickford remains a key figure for England as they advance in the tournament. He acknowledged the pressure of upcoming matches but expressed confidence in the team's preparation and camaraderie, aiming to secure victories in regulation time rather than through penalties.
