“The Euros were really nice. I’m always proud to represent my country, especially in a tournament like that one, so it was nice to share the pitch, to share good moments with my teammates, but I’m focused on Wolves now and I’m ready to go."

He concluded, saying:

“I played every single game, so it was nice to be called up to play. It’s pay off to your work. I’m happy with what I did, but I’m especially happy about what the team did and hopefully we carry on like this.”
