DBasia.news – Competing in big events like the World Cup is a matter of pride for Eric Dier. In fact, he is also ready to play in any position, including being a goalkeeper.
Dier is included in the list of 26 England national team players to compete in the 2022 World Cup. This will be his second participation in the biggest football tournament.
Dier is known as a player who is skilled at appearing in a number of different positions. He is ready to maximize this ability to help England win the 2022 World Cup.
“I will play in goal if I have to because this is the World Cup! I will take any opportunity I can get,” said Dier as quoted by the Daily Mail.
