Football Daily · England touch down in Florida · 2 Jun 2026 podcast

Obviously, I've been in the previous camps, but the March camp, you know, around that time,

in between then my form hadn't been great I'd said it before but look after that it gave me the fuel I needed the fire in my belly to you know to get back and get back to my optimum level and perform at the end of the day and I did that and yeah so great I'm kind of grateful that that it happened because it gave me that that drive back and that focus sometimes you need you know to reshift your focus you know to

look where you want to, what you want to achieve and where you want to get to.

And I did that.

And yeah, I think I couldn't have had a better end of the season.

I had an open conversation with him and just said, look, I felt like I wasn't at my best.

I was coming into the England camps and maybe I didn't feel like I deserved to, even what I've done previously.

But I'm not one of those players who goes off previous performances and goals and what I've achieved in my career.

You know, I think football is always changing and it's about here and now and how you're performing.

So I felt like going into the camps, sometimes I didn't deserve it.

There's other players that maybe deserved it.

And...

Yeah, I was thankful, like I said, to be left out in the March camp because I knew that's what I was capable of doing.

And yeah, I'm glad I had that time out so I could refocus and get back to my best.

No, I think it was just about, you know, we play so many games every year, you know, playing three games a week, travelling in Europe, you know, just having that time off on the international break that I hadn't had before just to refocus and enjoy the time with my family, appreciate the little things and, yeah, rest the body because I knew we had a big end of the season coming up.

I don't know if you've seen, but I wrote a lot of things on my mirror in my dressing room and manifested it and all of those things above them came true.

I think the only thing different is obviously the heat.

We play so many games a year.

I'm used to travelling.

I'm used to being away from the family, spending a lot of time in the hotel.
