“It’s obviously a massive moment for us, for the team,” said Eze, who came off the bench at half-time to replace Declan Rice against Norway.
“To see what we’re doing for people back home, it’s special. We’re trying to enjoy it as much as we can.
“It was a game full of emotions, full of everything. You can sort of look past things and not see it for what it is, but it’s insane to go through and to win a game of football it’s never easy.
“Of course there’s things we can improve on, things we can do better, but ultimately we won and that’s the main thing.
“I’m trying to focus and enjoy that as much as we can because to be in the semi-final, closer to winning the World Cup, is a dream for all of us.”
A place in the final against Spain or France awaits the winners of Wednesday’s game, and Madueke is determined to end a memorable summer on the ultimate high.
Asked by host Andrew Mensah if he feels closer to his fellow squad members after all they’ve been through in North America, he said: “For sure.
“If you spend six weeks with people… you wouldn’t normally do that throughout the season.
“Obviously we [Madueke, Eze and Saka] spend every day with each other but for the rest of your team-mates who you don’t see that often, I feel naturally you get closer and you’ve all got a common goal as well, so that helps.
“It’s been a good experience, coming into the last week now. It’s all about finishing strong.”
