Jordan Pickford Quotes

You have got to let the ball come to you as a keeper.

If I think I will get the ball, I go out. I can't stop halfway because the goal is empty and the player would have the opportunity to shoot. You make the reaction, and then, of course, you have to be sure to get the ball. But it's years of practice. You can't say from one day to the other, 'Now I will do it,' you know? You have to feel it.

The No. 1 rule you're taught as a receiver: You've just got to watch the ball. You hear about the guy who was lucky. But the guy who was lucky got an opportunity, and he was prepared for it. Sometimes the ball falls your way, and, you know, we'll take it.

The trick is to be there when it's settled.

Life teaches you that you need to make decisions in the right time - not too early, not too late.

I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it.

Luck is when opportunity meets preparation.

You've got to catch the ball.

I think it is important to grab the moment and be ready when the opportunity is in front of you, but people may not be ready when that moment arrives.

Defending is mostly about focus.

Before, sometimes if the ball was played over my head I wouldn't know where I was but now I feel a lot more comfortable. Sometimes I would be going forward when it really wasn't the right time to go too, but now I'm picking my moments better.
