Marc Guehi’s Rise: How John Stones and Kyle Walker Helped the Young Defender Find His Footing with England National Team

Walker describes playing with Stones as an ‘absolute dream’ and his performance as ‘unbelievable’

Gareth Southgate’s England national team has been on a roll so far in the Euro 2024 group stages, and one of the standout performers for them has been Marc Guehi. The young defender was a surprise inclusion in the starting lineup after Harry Maguire got injured, but he has since proven himself as a valuable asset to the team.

Guehi has credited two of his teammates, John Stones and Kyle Walker, for helping him settle into the squad during his first major tournament with England. Vice-captain Walker and central defender Stones have been instrumental in guiding Guehi through his early days with the national team, and he has been grateful for their leadership and support.

Speaking at a news conference, Guehi praised Stones for his leadership on the field, stating that playing alongside him has been a dream come true. He also commended Walker for his tenacity, leadership, and pace, highlighting his contribution to the team’s success. Guehi emphasized the importance of togetherness and strong performances in building confidence within the team.

The England squad remains unbeaten in the tournament so far, thanks in part to Guehi’s impressive play as well as other players like Stones and Walker setting a high standard of performance for the team. As they continue their run towards victory, they know that they need to keep focusing on controlling what they can in order to maintain their success.
