Declan Rice recently claimed in an interview that it is “their turn” to see England win a major championship in the buildup to the European Championships next month. The defender, who moved from West Ham to Arsenal for £105 million last summer, has been in excellent form and is regarded as a dependable component of Gareth Southgate’s squad as England prepares to compete in Germany. Southgate’s team is highly anticipated to win the championship, despite narrowly failing to defeat Italy in the 2021 Wembley final.

Rice indicated in an interview with Me𝑏’s Health UK that the team’s potential will be even more astonishing three years from now. Rice stated: “You must have confidence in your own abilities to succeed, especially with the team and players we have, and everyone in excellent condition.” This is our opportunity, and I believe the moment is now. Do you have a rationale for your position?

“Our management and support staff are exceptional, and they are a delightful group to travel with.” This summer, we have the opportunity to achieve something truly exceptional.

The 25-year-old midfielder appeared completely at ease as he posed for multiple shots. The interview with Rice is prominently shown on the publication’s cover.

Rice expressed “complete confidence” in his ability to thrive under Mikel Arteta and added that he secured his move from east London with the same feelings he had about his hefty transfer cost.  

Rice went on, “I got bought for a big amount of money.” I was aware of my skill as a player. I was completely certain that I could have an effect. 

“People no longer discuss the price.” It was a large sum of money, of course. The fans will decide if I can justify it.

“You can do all the gym work in the world, lift all the weights, do all the legwork, but you have to be mentally really strong,” says Rice, who views confidence as one of his greatest strengths. Self-assurance is really crucial. 

For me, the most essential thing is to consistently score seven or eight out of ten every week. The mentality is highly important. We heard from Arsenal’s manager, Arteta, on how our minds work. Making a bad pass or giving up the ball and allowing the opponent to score makes it easy to withdraw within yourself. Still, I’ve learned to move on from my mistakes. 

In the interview, Rice also revealed one of Arsenal’s best-kept dietary secrets: the pancakes the team makes, which the midfielder says a lot of players eat to stay energized.

Before a game, I eat four pancakes. drenched in honey or syrup. It really is the best thing, I promise to God. Rice took note.

“What is going on here?” was the first thing that sprang to mind when I saw the Arsenal players eating them when I first joined the club. To be honest though, it has changed the game. 

I have no idea how they work or what’s in them, but they definitely provide a significant energy boost. That, in my perspective, explains why I can float about the pitch so easily.

When we play at 5:30 p.m., I might have up to eight pancakes in one day. Before we play, I’ll have some more at 3.30 p.m., after breakfast.

As Arteta’s team’s thrilling title competition with Manchester City draws to a close, it remains to be seen whether nutritional gains will be enough to make the difference on the last day of the season.

Pep Guardiola’s team are presently favourites to win the Premier League for a record-breaking fourth time in a row, but if Man City loses to West Ham and Arsenal defeats Everton, the Gunners still have a chance to win the league for the first time in twenty years.  

Members of Arsenal’s iconic Invincibles team will be at the Emirates Stadium to celebrate their historic victory and see Arteta’s team defend their title at home.

Following their most recent triumph over Manchester United on Sunday, Arteta claimed that their goal was to provide their fans with “the most beautiful day.”

Rice’s colleague Kai Havertz stated, “It is so nice to be in the (title) race, and every week you have to play at your best.”

It feels much better when you’ve completed it. Everything is possible as long as the entire club supports us in this single game.
