Kyle Walker believes England have enough players with big-match experience to challenge for Euro 2024 glory \u2013 if they can perfect their mentality.<\/p>\n

England rounded off 2023 with a forgettable 1-1 draw in North Macedonia on Monday night having already assured their spot at next summer\u2019s finals by beating Italy last month.<\/p>\n

Gareth Southgate\u2019s side ended the calendar year unbeaten and topped Group C of Euro 2024 qualifying in the process.<\/p>\n

The Euro 2020 runners-up will now be top seeds for December\u2019s group-stage draw in Hamburg as England target their first major silverware since 1966.<\/p>\n

Walker insists they ended the year well despite having already secured qualification amid criticism of the performances in North Macedonia and in the 2-0 Wembley win over Malta.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s really been a drop off,\u201d he told Radio 5Live.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s been a good win against Malta. Okay, if you go and score eight everyone says you should have gone and scored eight- if we don\u2019t score eight it\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n

We’re all mature, we’ve all been in big situations, Whether it’s Champions League finals, fighting for the Premier League, semi-finals of a World Cup, finals of the Euros<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s three points. Never mind if it\u2019s an eight or 1-0, it is still three points on the board. We know coming here, we should win. We should win but the campaign and the group is wrapped up and it was always going to be a difficult one.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I said at the start of the team talk that it\u2019s about mentality now, we\u2019ve got the group of players that we\u2019ve had for a number of years now. We\u2019re all mature, we\u2019ve all been in big situations, whether it\u2019s Champions League finals, fighting for the Premier League, semi-finals of a World Cup, finals of the Euros.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow it\u2019s about our mentality. Now it\u2019s about mentality on the field and off the field to make sure that we take this country to where it deserves and that is to hopefully pick up that European trophy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Walker, 33, has been installed as Manchester City captain this season but sported the armband for his country for the first time in Monday\u2019s draw.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a really proud moment when the manager pulled me aside this afternoon and told me that I would be leading the team out,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously I\u2019m doing that for Manchester City now but to do it for my country is a real big step in the right direction and another thing I\u2019ve ticked off my list.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had to be patient and try and break them down. They had a back five and it\u2019s always going to be tough but that\u2019s no excuse.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that we should be coming here, taking three points and getting on the plane back home and celebrating qualifying with a good end to the campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut listen, we\u2019ve qualified and let\u2019s not underestimate that. We\u2019ve qualified for a major tournament once again and that\u2019s what we needed to really do.\u201d<\/p>\n
