Key Safety Josh Metellus Reveals Thoughts on Special UK Environment

Selected in 2020, the Vikings safety is set to compete in his fourth international match, even though the Minnesota team lost in Dublin recently. Earlier, they secured victories in each of their previous appearances to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The athlete stated, "We've got to keep that streak going," noting his excitement for another UK fixture.

"Usually, in a game, the spectators sport the same colors, but while heading to the arena at Spurs' ground, I spotted around thirty-two various jerseys—I noticed all squads," explained the player.

"I thought 'whoa, I believed it was a Minnesota event.' But that was really cool to witness, fans just enjoy football. I encountered a lot of different people of various backgrounds, who appreciated the contest and the festivities beforehand. You don't necessarily have to be a fan of one club, you know. It's just viewing the game and falling in love with it."

Regarding if that resulted in a special environment: "Absolutely. The fans at London do a great job of creating excitement. The team that displays the highest effort can shift the game and get the crowd, so yes, it certainly makes a special occasion. It's reminiscent of a College Bowl game. It's a impartial venue where it can turn either side, contingent on shifts in play and such elements."

"I greatly enjoy the arena," he added. "It seems like a great spot to perform abroad. The locker room's superb, the atmosphere when you step in, it appears that the eyes are on you. I'm a huge admirer of competing at stadiums that feel good, especially the ones that we triumph at!"
