Marduk: We have players who can decide the outcome of a game.

The 2026 World Cup semi-finals will feature another match, with Tuchel leading England against defending champions Argentina. Arsenal winger Maduk stated that the team has players capable of deciding the game and is not worried about who their opponent is.

In the quarterfinals, England came from behind to defeat Norway 2-1 after Bellingham scored two goals, thus advancing to the semifinals.

England winger Marduk said, "Just like Saka said, we have players who can decide the outcome of a game. We haven't really focused too much on our opponents, nor have we been worried about who they are. I think other teams are more worried about us."

When asked if the players' relationships had improved after this period of challenges, Maduk said, "Absolutely. Spending six weeks in a row with a group of people is almost impossible under normal circumstances."

“Like me, Eze, and Saka, we see each other almost every day. But for other national team teammates, there are rarely opportunities to spend so much time together. Over this period of time, we naturally become closer. Moreover, we all share the same goal, which makes us more united.”

Marduk also said, "It's been a fantastic experience. Now that we're in the final week of the tournament, the most important thing is to give our best performance in the final sprint."

In addition, Argentina, coached by Scaloni, eliminated Switzerland 3-1 in the World Cup quarterfinals after goals from McAllister, Alvarez and Lautaro.

England midfielder Eze said in an interview: "This is definitely a very important moment for our team. It's really special to see us bring joy to the fans, and we hope to enjoy it as much as possible."

"The last game was really full of emotions. At times, we might have overlooked everything that was happening in front of us. But it was really incredible to be able to advance all the way and win such a game, because winning a World Cup game is never an easy thing."

Eze also said, "We still have a lot to improve on, and we could play better, but most importantly, we won the last game. So I hope everyone can stay focused and enjoy it all. Reaching the World Cup semi-finals and getting closer to the championship is everyone's dream."
