He says love from the fans has helped him regain his confidence after he was subjected to online racist abuse.
"I've tried to move on from that moment, personally."
I can't forget about that, it's in history.
"But at the same time coming out here and scoring those three goals, of course, lifted me a lot - and the love from the fans that I keep receiving has lifted me a lot as well."
Since that time, I have grown a lot. If I wasn't confident, I wouldn't have stepped up the number of times.
I will be more than happy to take it if the time comes.
England will face the World Cup holders on Saturday.

There are so many young players in this tournament and I can name many of them, even in my own team."
