We’ve had total focus. We dealt with everything yesterday as soon as we left the hotel in Iceland. The players had already trained well. I think it brings the group tighter together and now we have to make sure people are talking about our football after tonight.
I was fortunate to hand two players their first England shirt today and we talked a little bit about what the badge means, what the requirements are, how you’ve to leave that shirt in a better place than you found it. They know the responsibility that comes with it but also the privilege of playing for your country, and it’s a great honour.
I don’t need to build the game up in their minds. They’re both more than capable of playing at this level. It’s a case of giving them the belief that they can go and perform as they do every week for their clubs.
