00:00There are some world-class talents that are not in this squad that other nations will look at and say,
00:05how are Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, Harry Maguire, Trent Alexander-Arnold, etc., Morgan Gibbs-White,
00:12how are they not in this squad? How have you left them out? Do you fear leaving their talents out?
00:16No, I don't fear because I am very confident in the group that we chose and with whom we arrived,
00:27very difficult decisions, painful conversations, difficult for the players, difficult to explain to the players.
00:38If everyone is selected, it was a given that from these 55 players we have to leave some extraordinary talents,
00:46some extraordinary personalities at home.
00:49I like these kind of decisions, even if they took us weeks and sometimes months to clarify the decisions.
00:59I think they bring clarity. I think they bring, in the end, a certain edge that is necessary.
01:06But for some of them, it's just the amount of players on a certain position.
01:12We didn't want to play the players out of position so much and we want to give them a clear
01:17role
01:18and it comes with difficult and maybe hard choices in the build-up to the tournament.
