Kwanza: Making my England debut is a dream come true, thanks to Stones for being there to guide me

In the final round of the World Cup qualifying group match on Sunday night, the England team defeated Albania 2-0 away from home. Leverkusen defender Kuanza made his debut for the national team. After the game, he talked about how he felt on his debut, whether there was any pressure and his next goals.

- Congratulations, you have been in the squad several times before, but now you finally started and played in the game. Sum up your night in a few words.

Kwanza: "Yes, to be honest, this is one of the greatest nights of my life for me. Well, knowing how proud my family, friends, and all the people back home would be. Of course, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time and came close several times, but to be called up to the England senior squad and finally get this cap is a dream come true and a real honour."

- When did you get confirmation from coach Tuchel?

Kwansa: "This morning, so as you can imagine, we did some drills yesterday and you think you might be able to play, but you never know until it's confirmed. Yeah, you're over the moon when you see your name go up on the board, but you have to be ready to perform, really."

- Is there a little bit of pressure when you come into a team that has set such a high defensive standard and is trying to keep a record and a winning streak going?

Kwansa: "Well, yeah, I think any high-level team chasing trophies will demand the best. You have some of the best players in the world here, and it's a really united group. I've been around this team for a long time and seen the standards they set. So to be able to come in and have Stones around me all the time talking to me about the game and coaching me and stuff like that, it's so valuable. I'm really grateful to him for that."
