00:00Just on a slightly different question, you've mentioned before about the importance of cherishing coming to England and respecting the
00:07shirt and so forth.
00:09You asked about Ben White earlier. Ben was unavailable for three years to not play for England.
00:17Why do you think a player that made that decision deserves the opportunity to play for England at a World
00:22Cup?
00:25Why do I think that? First of all, I think everyone deserves a second chance.
00:30Second, I don't know exactly what happened.
00:33I was also not 100% interested in that because I wanted to open a new page and a new
00:40book and a new opportunity.
00:41Once I asked Ben if he would be ready to play for me and for England, he straight away, without
00:46hesitation, said he would love that and he would love to come back.
00:51He is desperate to come back. When the chance opened up for him with the injury of Gerald Kwanza very
00:59late,
00:59the reaction came within seconds and was very euphoric and very positive, very emotional about it.
01:05That showed me that he really means it. The way he behaves and the way he trained here in camp
01:10is exceptional.
01:12Very, very good. It shows his quality. I think it is necessary that he clears the air with his teammates.
01:20And I think he does and I think he will once players come back who were in the World Cup
01:28together with him.
01:29And then we go from there. Let's see how it goes and let's see how he feels, if he feels
01:35as confident and as comfortable as he thought he would.
01:38Until now this is the case and he has my support. Hopefully he gets the support from the spectators and
01:49we take it from there.
01:50Let's see.
01:51Let's see.
