Eberechi Eze would have no qualms about taking a penalty for England at the World Cup.The Arsenal midfielder missed from the spot when his team lost the shootout to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final in Budapest last month. But Eze said that he was “grateful” for the experience of missing, that he is going to “grow” and “learn” from it, and that if he was called upon by Thomas Tuchel to take another there is no reason for him to say no.Speaking at the England camp in Kansas City, Eze reflected positively on a club season which ended with Arsenal winning the Premier League.“Football is full of everything and you have to try to accept everything as it is, to enjoy it as much as you can,” Eze said. “Playing in a Champions League final is where I want to be, it’s what I want to do. We’ll go for it again next season and if there is a penalty to take then I’ll be there again.”Empty seats, breakout stars and shattered records | World Cup Daily BriefingMegan Feringa and Amitai WinehouseEze revealed that he has had plenty of supportive messages from other players who missed big penalties in their career, and pointed to the example of Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka, who missed in the final of the 2020 European Championship against Italy, but are both still important parts of the England group.
