I think what Craig said has reminded me of so many times in my career where, for example, the guys were saying that it's not what champions do, it's not what professionals do.
I think if you play a game of football and in that first half the effort isn't there, the desire is not there, and you're being outrun, you're being outmatched, sometimes you get in at half-time and the frustration is so large from so many people that they will shout, they will rant, they will rave, they'll be throwing boots down on the ground, and they'll be showing that level of passion because ultimately, as a professional,
it's not just about letting everyone else just like outrun you, you know, let them have their way.
You've got to be more committed and you've got to battle.
It doesn't matter whether you're a team that's at the top of the league or at the bottom of the league.
You know, kids are doing that in like youth football now.
So why would you not do it as a professional?
And I think as I listened to, also I see Mbappe talking there, as I see Bellingham talking there, you know, it's all very, very general.
The only way I can sort of respect that in my mind is if in that locker room they've been very specific.
Because if you talk in those general terms, people will be inferring, well, is he talking about me?
Well, how about this guy over here?
Have an environment whereby these people hold themselves accountable.
And I think that is one of the big measures of success.
