I don't think that was the case before.

I think the pressure, it was almost trying not to get found out or not to be blamed about being in the England set-up.

And England, the only thing is with England, they've been out of the league in the Nations League, so we haven't seen them playing against the top teams in the last year or so, but they are the players that they have.

They need to be considered in those seven, eight teams that anybody...

Yeah, I think first is how the player feels about it.

Because I think if a player doesn't want it to work out, it won't work out.

I think it's that block of the attitude that I was talking.

It starts from that, that the player is open...

to make it work.

The other aspect I think is the easiest one.

I think tactically being flexible I think is easy now for the players.

They know you can play one system on the ball, a system off the ball.

You can be a little bit just adaptable.

I enjoy that challenge.

I enjoy when you've got outstanding quality and you need to make it fit in but it comes from the player.

If the player doesn't want to make it work or he doesn't believe in it that's where the big problem comes.

We got it in a way that

I like to create the environment to be as competitive as it can and let's see if training can make the decision of who plays rather than, okay, I'm coming with my set idea and Scholes will play with Roy and then you lose players around that.

I mean, you are very clear in your decisions from the office.

I always believe in international football you need to be very much open-minded to change your mind until the last second when you see the last training session and a player shows something that surprises you.
