00:00Spanish?
00:02If you want to translate the questions and answers.
00:07OK, thank you very much, we'll proceed in English.
00:10Alex, do you want to get something away?
00:12I think we're at the worst possible start against a team like Spain who loves to control
00:23the game and loves to play with confidence and on the ball to be 1-0 down so early.
00:31It's of course the worst possible start, it happened.
00:35The reaction was OK, it cost us a little bit of confidence, it's normal.
00:42I think we had another two big mistakes in the build-up situations and conceded two big
00:47chances, survived the chances and then for me we grew into the game.
00:53We played more and more in the opponent's half.
00:55We had an incredible number throughout the game but especially in the first half of high
01:01ball wins, played very brave against the ball, pushed them back, got better and better with
01:07the ball and played more and more in the opponent's half, created more and more.
01:11Throughout the match I think the difference was that they were more clinical, more composed
01:16in the last 20 metres, that cost us a little bit in the first half.
01:20We could have, I think, from all these ball wins we could have created more clear-cut chances
01:25but we got the momentum, we got the belief back, scored the equaliser, scored the second goal,
01:33could have scored the third one in the first half, should absolutely score the third one
01:39in the second half, one of the best 15-20 minutes so far of us.
01:45Total complete performance, we were clearly the better team, couldn't score the third.
01:50I think in this moment it would have been the decisive punch to get this full momentum and full belief
01:58into our match on top with a two-goal advantage.
02:02We couldn't do it, made unfortunately another technical mistake that cost us and then the momentum
02:08shifted again and then conceded one goal from open play that we should absolutely defend better
02:15because they play through the middle and we wanted absolutely to close the middle.
02:22result is not what we wanted, I think we could have won it, the same match, so we have to
02:29live with it
02:29and recover from it, learn from it, do what we did good on the same level and reduce and improve
02:40our mistakes.
02:41And just one on the selection, James Trafford started, so that would have been a big evening for him
02:46against world champions coming in for Jordan Pickford, how did you think he did this evening?
02:51I'm not a specialist for goalkeeping so it was clear and for analysing performances
03:00but I think he deserved to get two matches, that's why we gave him two matches.
03:08He started the Premier League season well, he gets his number one in Leeds, Jordan did absolutely nothing wrong
03:15but we want to use this competition to see how far actually James is in these two weeks.
03:26So he gets these two matches, I'm convinced that it's better to get two matches and not just one match
03:32so he can learn from the organisation, he can learn from what happened and straight away grow into it
03:39and be a part of the defensive and offensive build-up unit.
03:47So he gets the next match as well and then Jordan gets the two matches against Croatia and Czech Republic
03:53in Wembley.
03:54Tom?
03:55Hi Thomas, you're obviously playing against the best team in the world, but what do you put down, put the
04:01volume of mistakes down to?
04:04I don't know, I don't know, it's just what it is. It was like, especially to start with, it was
04:13in the first, I think, 10-12 minutes
04:15and then unfortunately for the equaliser. I didn't see the mistakes in the moment where we were very good in
04:22the end of the first half
04:23and in the beginning of the second half. I'm not sure why we made this amount of mistakes.
04:30Of course we played against the best and then you need to convert your chances, you need to convert maybe
04:34half chances,
04:35you need a bit of luck, which was not on our side I would say today because, again, I think
04:43up to the 65th minute we had them
04:48and we had the most clear-cut chance with the penalty to go maybe two goals up and we would
04:54talk about the different result.
04:56It's just what it is, no one is to blame. It happens, it happens a bit too often today and
05:01we got punished on the highest level
05:03because the execution and the composure in the last 20 metres was on the highest level of our opponent.
05:11Hello.
05:12Hi Thomas. I just want to ask about Mal's Lewis Skelly, I think his first start in midfield for England.
05:19His England career has kind of mirrored how his Arsenal career has gone, as in he broke into Arsenal as
05:24a left-back,
05:25he made his debut at left-back and now he started the season at centre mid and he's made his
05:29first start at centre mid.
05:30Do you see him squarely as a centre midfielder now? Do you kind of want to hone him in there?
05:36I remember you said you want players to come to your camp and make an impression.
05:40He's obviously started the centre midfield in the first game.
05:42No, that's why he made an impression in club football and now through the week, that's why he got his
05:47start.
05:48No presence here for no one. Also not on his birthday, it was his birthday today.
05:53He did very well for Arsenal in this position. I think it suits him a bit better than left-back.
06:00He was just very good and had a good match today. So well done. Did everything that was needed. Good
06:07performance.
06:10Kit? Hi. Hi Thomas. You spoke yesterday about how it was a bite between Jarrell and Trent for the right
06:18-back spot.
06:18Can I ask you why Jarrell won that fight and got a start tonight and also why wouldn't it look
06:24like you could maybe use Trent's deliveries when you were chasing the game,
06:28trying to get the ukuleles at the end, trying to stay on the bench?
06:32Yeah. There was a lot of defending to do as well on the side. We had a lot of one
06:37-on-one defending on the middle line.
06:41So we needed to close the gaps. Mark Gahey followed in midfield so we ended up in a back-three.
06:48He needed for me Jarrell's speed and Jarrell's quality to think also as a central defender.
06:56But Jarrell did excellent in the week. He was excellent for us in the World Cup.
07:02So he is, at the moment, slightly ahead. He didn't give his shirt away.
07:11It's not his shirt. He has to fight for it. But he came with a slight advantage into this camp
07:16because he was top for us at the World Cup and he was top for us this week. He had
07:21an excellent match today.
07:23Thomas, there was some very big news about Manchester City that broke yesterday
07:27while you were preparing for this game. You obviously have Manchester City players.
07:32Harry, I think, has said that there was a discussion about it. Is there any distraction?
07:37Is it an issue for you for this camp?
07:39Not for me, but I can imagine maybe for the Manchester City players. For me not.
07:44And I will not comment on that. I think it's an ongoing court case.
07:50So I will not give any comment to that.
07:53I'm not asking you to comment on the case. How do you deal with your players though?
07:56How do you keep their headspace direct?
07:59I didn't make it a topic. I didn't make it a topic. It was no topic for me.
08:02I'm anywhere in camp. I see. I hear news as the latest person in camp. I feel all the time.
08:08So just thinking about Spain and training and meetings and individual meetings and team meetings.
08:15No, not for me. For the players, they have more time than me. They have one training session.
08:21So for sure, I can imagine that they do.
08:32On the bench, of course, didn't go to the World Cup. And you've got that relationship now with Matthias Jaisler
08:37for Lewis Hall's perhaps development. What's the situation with that position going forward?
08:42Will Lewis Hall get more of a look in now? You've got that relationship with his manager.
08:47He missed some training sessions with a bit of an injury scare.
08:52Lewis Hall, that's why I was a bit hesitant to put him out there today.
09:01But he's an option. He trained well in the end of the week, but he was out of training in
09:07the beginning of the week.
09:08And we just didn't want to take any risk because there was a lot of high-speed running to do.
09:14There was a lot of defending to do, of course, against Lamine Jamal.
09:17And I just didn't want to risk it.
09:19But Lewis is always in our discussions on the left-back position.
09:23He is the one actually who plays left-back in his club.
09:27Nico plays many, many times in central midfield.
09:30But that sort of situation, nothing.
09:33So he will fight for his minutes and for his matches.
09:36There are still three matches to go.
09:37Okay, four to go, Sam.
09:39Thomas, just going back to the Trent question.
09:42I get that you said that Kwanza is ahead of him.
09:45If not this game, what sort of game would you look like?
09:48There are three more games.
09:49But what sort of game would you look like?
09:50There are three more games.
09:51There are no sort of games.
09:52There are three more games.
09:53I have a choice to make for 11 players and for five subs.
09:58There's nothing else in there.
09:59It's nothing to do with it.
10:00You seem to be suggesting it's his defensive qualities over his attacking qualities.
10:04No, I made a decision for Cheryl Kwanza.
10:07Give me a sign of a pitch.
10:10All right, Thomas.
10:11You spoke at the start about learning from tonight.
10:13I know it's frustrating now.
10:14But when we look back at this in six months or two years or whenever,
10:18how important do you think this night can be against?
10:22Yeah, if we learn from it, if we take the positives,
10:25I think there's quite some positives to take away from.
10:28And we will try to do the review straight away tomorrow
10:31because there's not a lot of time in turnaround for the game.
10:35I think we will focus on the positives
10:38but also highlight the stuff that we can do better,
10:41not even speaking about individual mistakes.
10:44Because, I mean, this is normal.
10:46It just happens.
10:47It should not happen and for sure not in this amount.
10:50But there is no sense in showing now the individual mistakes
10:54or showing or telling them, please don't do mistakes.
10:57It's just, that is normal.
11:00But we can do things better.
11:02We can defend the third goal better, of course.
11:05But we will focus on the positives.
11:06There's a lot to take away from.
11:08Like I said, we wanted to be the team desperately to beat them.
11:13We think we had them.
11:16We still think we had them in half-time.
11:18We think we had them and that was the way the team showed up after half-time.
11:23So we will focus on that.
11:25But the reality is we lost and the reality is we need to prove it again in Czechia, in Prague.
11:32Total different match, different circumstances.
11:34We only have a two-day turnaround and to travel.
11:38So it will be demanding and challenging.
11:41And hopefully we will look back and go step from step.
11:45The way we played today and the tactical solutions we had today for the offensive press
11:52and for the man-man to push into man-man in the opponent's half.
11:58It's something to build on.
12:01The defensive play in middle and deep block is something to build on.
12:04Hopefully we can build on this no matter against whom we play.
12:08This will give us then time to repeat things and to get better at things.
12:15But yeah, hopefully we take the learnings and hopefully we get our points
12:19because we need points.
12:20We want to get out of the group and get the top spot back.
12:24James?
12:25Thomas, England's record against top ten teams isn't great.
12:30It's six wins from 16 matches.
12:32I know you talked a lot about how the gap is getting smaller.
12:35That's why I was surprised about the World Cup because I think we beat at the World Cup
12:39three top ten teams.
12:43But interesting, in the moment when we win no one brings it up
12:46but in the moment when we lose one we come up with the statistics.
12:50Okay, continue.
12:52Last question here.
12:53No, no. Sorry, continue.
12:55Well, you've changed the question really.
12:57Did you feel then given that response that you didn't actually get enough credit this summer?
13:03No, it's just like I was not in charge for these 16 matches.
13:08For sure not.
13:09And I think we did everything today to beat Spain.
13:12This is like details matter on this kind of level.
13:16Like I said, and I think we did the amount of mistakes.
13:19Clear cut mistakes was too high on our side today, unfortunately.
13:22And in the last 20 meters, they were more composed and more clinical
13:27to convert our ball losses in clear cut chances.
13:31But still, I mean, this is also part of football.
13:35Still, we had them and we had the chance to beat them.
13:39So, yeah, we will keep on pushing, keep on pushing this team.
13:47We proved it at the World Cup that we're capable of, that we're capable of to do it in tournaments.
13:52Today, we cannot prove it in the result.
13:54But I think the way we played was enough to beat them.
13:58But, yeah, there's no proof in the result today.
14:00Last question.
14:03Thanks.
14:04Good evening, Thomas Daniel from BenchFuse TV.
14:07Quite a bit of substitution as both Morgans came on.
14:10And the standard didn't seem to drop.
14:12How happy are you with the sub performance, even though you guys didn't actually affect the score sheet
14:16after they did come on?
14:20How happy am I with the subs?
14:21Yeah, with the subs you came on and how they impacted the game, even though they didn't actually score.
14:25It was difficult.
14:25It was a difficult moment for them to come on.
14:27So, we needed to get a bit of energy back and a bit of legs back, especially against the ball.
14:34To be able to push out from the middle block, which is difficult because they had their momentum back.
14:41So, yeah, everyone on the bench deserves to play.
14:44They're always desperate to play.
14:46Everyone tries their best.
14:47It's difficult.
14:48We play against the best team in the world to make a difference.
14:50But there is no blaming and no worries about the subs.
14:58I felt a bit tired then from the effort.
15:02That's why we made the subs.
15:04I think Spain used all their subs.
15:05We used all our subs.
15:07Normal stuff.
15:08Thank you very much.
15:09Cheers.
15:09Thank you very much.
15:09This is amazing.
15:09This is amazing.
15:09This is the purpose of entrepreneurs too.
15:09It's only no innovation and socialization, but you must decide anybody on the Tier 0 news.
