00:00I think everyone's seen in this competition that I don't think there is a favourable side of the draw.

00:04Every team, every opponent that you come up against is really tough to play against.

00:07If we're going to go far in this tournament, you know, your defence needs to be really strong.

00:16I don't think the team's too focused on that, to be honest.

00:19I think we're just appreciative of those that have actually just come and supported the team in general, to be honest.

00:25He's been fantastic. I think if you look at his record, speaks for itself.

00:30Everyone's behind the manager, that's for sure.

00:33I think everyone's just really appreciative of the manager, especially me, you know.

00:37Him giving me my debut for England, him showing so much confidence in me.

00:47It's nice to hear, it's nice to hear.

00:49I wouldn't say I'm the best player in the world.

00:51There's been quite a few really good performances, in my opinion.

00:54But yeah, I think I'm just really enjoying the tournament, enjoying being here.

00:58You know, just really grateful.

01:05His consistent performances throughout other tournaments,

01:09his help with me on training pitches before, you know, it's been amazing.

01:22Playing with John's a dream, to be honest.

01:24He's a top professional, makes my life so much easier and I'm just following in his footsteps.

01:29So, you know, it's been fantastic.

01:35Top, unbelievable player.

01:37His career shows what he's already done in the game.

01:40But his tenacity, his leadership on the pitch really shows, especially in tough moments.

01:51We know they're a really good side.

01:53Obviously, Kovic, I think he was third in the group they qualified.

01:56They've got some really good players in their team.

01:58Lobotkov being one, the obvious one from Napoli.

02:00But a lot of good players.

02:02You know, I think it's going to be another tough opponent, tough challenge to deal with.

02:06It's important that we just have to be ready for those challenges

02:09and match whatever intensity they're going to bring.
