Morgan Rogers: 我在足球的道路上经历了很多，从在米德尔斯堡的联赛杯比赛中凭直觉创造了“冰冻”庆祝动作，到在曼城青年队与科尔·帕尔默一起成长，再到在阿斯顿维拉与埃梅里共事，以及在英格兰国家队的征程。在曼城，我起初很挣扎，因为那里的竞争非常激烈，每个人都是最优秀的。但这段经历让我成长，让我明白如何发挥自己的最大潜力。租借期间，我经历了不同的球队、联赛和位置，这让我变得更加强大和成熟。在米德尔斯堡，麦卡锡教练帮助我提升了身体对抗能力。在阿斯顿维拉，埃梅里教练的执教风格简单直接，他注重个人能力的提升，特别是个人对抗能力。他要求我在中场赢得个人对抗，通过盘带突破对手，创造机会。我更喜欢在中场踢球，因为这样更能参与比赛。我和贝林厄姆的比赛风格有一些相似之处，但他更全面，而我更偏向进攻。我的目标是为英格兰国家队赢得重大赛事冠军，并赢得英超联赛冠军。欧冠联赛的经历让我难忘，第一次听到欧冠主题曲时，我感到非常兴奋。在阿斯顿维拉，我和麦金、马丁内斯等球员建立了良好的关系，他们都是优秀的球员和领袖。球队拥有沃特金斯和杜兰两名优秀的前锋，他们的竞争和配合能提升球队的整体实力。我需要提高在禁区内的终结能力，以提高进球和助攻效率。 Gary Lineker: 作为主持人，我主要对Morgan Rogers的职业生涯发展和成就表示赞赏，并就一些关键事件和比赛进行提问，例如在米德尔斯堡的出色表现、在曼城的经历、以及在阿斯顿维拉的进步。 Micah Richards: 作为主持人，我主要对Morgan Rogers的职业生涯发展和成就表示赞赏，并就一些关键事件和比赛进行提问，例如在米德尔斯堡的出色表现、在曼城的经历、以及在阿斯顿维拉的进步。
