England’s national team goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has been praised by former England player Tom Heaton for his impressive performances at the Euros. Pickford recently set a record for the most clean sheets at major tournaments for England, surpassing Peter Shilton. If England reaches the final in Germany, Pickford will also come close to matching Joe Hart’s number of caps.
Heaton, who is currently working with the squad at the Euros, commended Pickford for his distribution and ability to play out from the back effectively. He highlighted Pickford’s decision-making skills and his prowess with both feet, stating that he is a well-rounded goalkeeper who prioritizes keeping the ball out of the net.
Despite England not hitting top form in the tournament, Pickford has been solid in goal, making crucial saves to help the team progress to the quarter-finals. Heaton emphasized the pressure that comes with being a goalkeeper for England but praised Pickford for his ability to remain composed and deliver when it matters most.
Heaton believes that Pickford’s unwavering belief in his abilities sets him apart and allows him to thrive under the spotlight and pressure of international competition. He expressed his confidence in Pickford’s performance and urged fans to recognize the goalkeeper’s contributions to the team’s success.
