“Every time a young player comes in, he is excited and wants to prove himself, but also in football, the other players want to prove themselves to any new player that comes in, so that competition is the only way to stimulate performance.”
“I expect all the players, even the younger ones, to show leadership in their own way.”
“Whenever you're in an England shirt, you have an opportunity to make history.”
“It was very painful to be so close to a World Cup final.”
“Sometimes it's not always a good decision to play if people's energy isn't quite there.”
