“If I play a game at the World Cup, my Dad will have a heart attack!” | Aaron Ramsdale

The Arsenal and England goalkeeper was on holiday with his mates four years ago when Harry Kane scored a late winner over Tunisia in the 2018 World Cup (at 17:45)
TIMESTAMPS
0:00 Intro
0:25 Hard to put into words what it means to be at the World Cup
0:55 Adapting to the heat? I know it was going to be hot and adapting to it quickly will be the hardest part.
2:15 The competition for GK places is fair, Pickford/Pope have done well for England and their clubs. We are all training like NO.1’s.
3:30 Being here at the World Cup is a pinch yourself moment. I am in a real good place in my career and really enjoyable after being written off. The hard work has paid off.
4:15 I’ve learnt so much from my experiences. I am learning the side of the game where I am in biggest moments, playing in Europe, England and being at the top of the league.
5:20 Ramsdale’s dad – There were a few tears shed from my dad when I told him I was called up. He might not return home or have a heart attack if I do get on the pitch!
6:05 World Cup ball – This is one of the better Adidas balls, I haven’t had much to go off before.
The style of England and my club is different but the principles will be the same.
8:25 I was very fortunate to be in the Euro’s squad, as Dean Henderson got injured. I feel like I have cemented myself in this squad this time.
9:40 On Bukayo Saka – The kid is a lovely boy, has time for everyone and works hard. I can’t wait for him to thrive on this stage I was able to speak to Saka about the progress his made, Bukayo said to me “It’s all my fault that we didn’t get top four last season”. I told him “I got relegated,”
11:50 Always a GK? I wanted to get as much mud on my clothes as possible, I wanted to play in goal since a young age.
12.30 Bromance with Ben White – We spent a lot of Saturday nights partying together as teenagers in Bournemouth. And now we are both with Arsenal and England
14:20 What’s the England camp like? We’ve got a basketball net up which gets played a lot, I’m a celeb is on the TV’s too.
15:30 Who’s the toughest player Ramsdale’s ever faced? I’ve always hated playing against Vardy! Aguero was the other, you can never write him off!
16:30 Practising penalties? We haven’t done any yet but in the later rounds we will start to do it.
The England strike force are very powerful, the levels are so high.
17:45 Where did you watch 2018 World Cup? “I was in Lineker’s bar in Ayia Napa when H’s header went in. What a night! I still get goosebumps now.
18:50 No beer for the fans? We want to bring that excitement from the football pitch.
19:40 Confidence has not been affected since the nations league defeats, it has spurred us on!
20:30 Arsenal being top of the league – It’s a lovely position we sit in, the banter has mostly come from Conor Coady and Trent Alexander Arnold about us being 5 points clear!
