Football Can Do Without The 'Slappers'!
"It seems like there was a big show around the whole England squad.
"It was like watching a theatre unfolding and football almost became a secondary element to the main event.
"People were worrying more about what people were wearing and where they were going, rather than the England football team."That then transposed itself into the team. This regime is very water-tight. If I'm honest, it feels as if we're going in the right direction.

"You were caught up in the bubble. Being somewhere like Baden-Baden, walking around the town, there were paparazzi everywhere and we were among journalists as well, our families were there.

"It's a very professional regime.
"Very result-orientated. Very much like a lot of our clubs. The results come a long way before the performances."
