I don't think there's one megastar that don't want to win.

So they all know that they need to do a certain amount of work.

And actually, if you looked at Messi in the first game, he was pressing and running like I haven't seen him for a while.

I think Harry Kane is clearly, compared to the Euros two years ago, that he's fit and he's coming into a fantastic place.

And I think that's very, very important to be aware of that, because if you're not fit and you're struggling with injury,

it's difficult to perform.

So he is in a fantastic place.

Also the way he pressed and the way he was all over the pitch I think is interesting as well.

So I think it's about making sure you have the structure right offensively and defensively for the team and then know and everyone knows if you get the top players to shine then there's a bigger chance for the team to have success.

I think it's always individual-based.

So, for example, a player like Declan Rice is a physical monster.

He seems like he can just keep going.

He's in his best age.

You know, he is playing with high intensity through almost 60 games, and he seems to be robust.

That's one thing, but even him,

need to get a little downtime to refresh, to be ready to go again over the next six, seven weeks, hopefully eight games for England.

And then there's Harry Kane, that's a little bit older, still a very good, how can you say, physical player, but not the same as Declan Rice.

But you can see now he's coming in here and he's completely top fit.

And every single time a player's top fit is just easier.

to perform in that sense.
