00:00About a third of the players in your squad have won major trophies with their clubs.
00:04We look at, obviously, Bellingham and Foden and James, players like that.
00:09So we know that they've got a winning mentality.
00:11So this is a very old question with England.
00:14What is it? Is it psychological with England? Is it the shirt?
00:21Yeah, I heard this a lot, that the shirt, it's a heavy shirt.
00:24It is, in fact, not.
00:27It's a high-quality shirt and it will even weigh less when we come to America
00:32because they already work on a shirt that adapts to the climate there.
00:38So the shirt is not heavy in reality.
00:41But, of course, I know what the players mean.
00:44And, you know, it maybe is another way to put it.
00:48What I felt watching the Euros,
00:51I felt tension and pressure on the shoulders of the players.
00:55And it felt to me that they were more afraid of...
00:57They were playing for not to lose
01:01and not to have even more pressure added maybe in the home country
01:05than the excitement to maybe make something special happen.
01:09And I think we need to turn this around
01:11because, as you said, we have so many experienced players,
01:15so many players who won the trophies with their clubs.
01:18And I think we have every right to be self-confident.
01:22But every journey starts, as it is, with the first match and the first steps.
01:26So the very first steps we did excellent.
01:28And now we have to prove the point that we are ready for that.
01:31And we will have six camps to, first of all, qualify
01:36and then make our very best in America.
