Manchester United Left-back Luke Shaw is preparing for the biggest game of his international career so far, with England set to face Denmark in the Euro 2020 semi-final at Wembley Stadium, yet the in-form defender is remarkably cool and composed with just 24 hours to go.
The buccaneering no.23 has earned rave reviews for his performances at the tournament – he has three assists so far – and was today praised by Brazil legend Roberto Carlos, who is a big fan of our man.
Shaw has reacted to those quotes in an interview with Lions’ Den presenter Josh Denzel, before boarding the Three Lions’ coach from St. George’s Park on Tuesday afternoon.
When asked what his thoughts are on the recent praise by the Brazilian legend, he replied;
“To be fair I hadn’t seen any of that, it’s the first time I have heard of it. It is so nice to hear things from one of the best left-backs ever and, of course, after the game when I saw he had followed me and commented, I couldn’t believe it to be honest. It was a weird feeling, but I take massive respect from it and it’s nice to hear those words from somebody like that.”

With an exciting semifinal to come it’s quite impossible to see if England win the Euros. But if Shaw continues playing the way he has been playing the Three Lions have a chance to finally end their quest for some silverware.
