Scott Parker: "I think pride in English football had been restored.
"Trust me, having the belief and support of everyone back home goes a very long way.
"You don't want to be surrounded by negativity, or reading things that aren't nice so it was fantastic to hear 18 million people watched on Tuesday.
"There's definitely a spirit inside the camp.
"As a nation that is what we are known for. Ultimately, that's our base.
"I'd like to think we have that base back.
"Of course, when I watch the best in the world, it would be good to be like them.
"But how many other teams play like Spain? There aren't many are there? Barcelona?
"They're the best I've ever seen.
"You are what you are. We all need to recognise our own qualities and strengths.
"I'd be lying to say we couldn't do a bit better going forward, but we're still winning games. That's the most crucial thing.
"I've been in a few England squads, Roy's my third manager, and it's definitely more relaxed, not as intense.
"You can see that from how the players are and the way we're preparing for games.
"The mix is right now. Every player has to be treated in different ways.
"But with this squad and the personnel here, the freedom we have is working.
"It's not football, football, football, which is more like the experience we have at our clubs.
"When I leave training at Tottenham I go and speak with my wife, and my friends or pick up the kids.
"You're in such a tight environment and have such intensity in training, having other stuff to do and give you a break has definitely helped."
