Timestamps
00:00 Intro
00:36 Will never get over World Cup semi-final defeat
00:50 Will never be the same person, it leaves a scar
01:20 Kane or Yamal for Ballon D’Or? I’m not that guy yet, for me it has to be one of the two
01:45 Yamal is ridiculous, best winger in the world right now
02:05 Kane has as big an argument as anyone though, the amount of goals he scored
02:43 Too defensive v Argentina? That mentality got us through the previous two wrongs, difficult to change what is working
03:33 There’s no telling that we wouldn’t have lost staying four at the back, hind sight
03:59 With that experience we will go the other way next time
04:13 Culturally we don’t have that strength to control games like Spain
04:50 There’s no perfect way to win a football match
05:15 Keeping possession? It’s not in the English DNA and I’ve only realised playing in Spain, it’s the decision making
05:50 Spain are built different but we have our own strengths that they don’t have
06:12 Everyone already knows how good Rodri is, he’s a genius in football
07:10 Not far away, we got to the semi-final and we should have won it
07:46 If we got to the final I would’ve felt so confident against Spain
08:10 The best players play for the best teams
08:28 I obviously watch all of Jude’s games now hoping he will lose, he’s started the season great
09:08 Spain game? We will never be able to show that we could’ve beat them in the World Cup final
09:35 The guys at Barca saw us as really competitive, if we made the final it would’ve been more competitive
10:14 We had a meeting about the defeat on the first day of camp
10:35 It was the best summer of my life
11:15 Flick and Tuchel both German and love pressing, both brutally honest and very demanding
12:21 I used to learn Spanish at Everton, I can speak well now
13:24 Surprised to come off in the semi-final
14:29 We weren’t performing in the matches like we were in training at the World Cup, if we did we would’ve dominated everyone
15:08 As players we could have done more to control the game
15:20 Everyone likes to blame the manager but I don’t think they should
15:33 We had the best team and the best players but didn’t play the best football in the last 20 minutes of the semi-final
16:09 My football is evolving playing in Spain, different style
17:30 I feel like we try to replicate Spain, we have just as good players but different qualities
18:05 Stop looking elsewhere as a country and be proud of who we are and what we are
18:48 More people have spoke to me about the France game than the Argentina game
19:40 English fans don’t appreciate tiki taka as much, they want to see English football
20:54 Number one goal is to win
21:44 Just be yourself when with England
