O'Reilly: 'World Cup is my aim' | OneFootball

Manchester City youngster Nico O’Reilly described his England debut as a “dream come true” after featuring in the 2-0 win over Serbia at Wembley, and says he’s already targeting a place in Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad.

“I’m over the moon,” O’Reilly told BBC Radio 5 Live. “It has been a very special night making my England debut — a dream come true for me and my family.

“I want to thank everyone who has helped me get here — my mum, stepdad and sister. For them to watch me play here at Wembley is a crazy feeling.

“I got told I would be starting earlier on in the day. We had a meeting where the squad was announced and I was in the team. I was calm and excited.

“I knew it was a big moment but I was calm, level-headed and just ready for the game.

“Everything happens for a reason and it comes at the right time. I take it game by game and day by day. I will keep working hard and keep going.

“The World Cup squad is an aim of mine. I would love to be there. I just need to keep working hard and hopefully I’ll be there.”
