I hope the World Cup is not over for Rooney. He's an optimistic young man, a fighter, so I hope he can take part. |
I hope we can be very aggressive anyhow. Start early sometimes and wait sometimes because the heat. It's less humid in Portugal than it was in Japan. It's a big difference. The weather is good and it's not that humid so we will handle it I'm sure. |
I knew yesterday that he had more than one fracture. That's what I heard. I don't know what that means, but I'm not that pessimistic. |
I know for sure he wants to come back to England. If it's a London club he will come tomorrow. And it's up to me to convince him that Birmingham is the right place to be. |
I know that I have the full support of the players and the FA and it is important to stress ... how committed I am to achieving success this summer. |
I know that I have the full support of the players and the FA, and it is important to stress to everyone just how committed I am to achieving success this summer. I care passionately about this job, and I want everyone to know that. |
I know that we can play much better. They went out and did a job. We were brilliant sometimes and created good chances in the first half. They were brilliant in the second half defending. Austria had no good chances to score. |
I really hope, fingers crossed, there will be no injuries, because I always said England will have a great World Cup if all the players are fit. |
I really, really hope we can do a big, big tournament in the summer. |
I should be happy if we can go on playing like we did, I think we played a fantastic game yesterday. If you take away the last three minutes of extra-time, they did exactly what we asked them to do. Knowing the English mentality, I think they will look forward to Thursday. |
I spoke to Michael on Thursday and we talked for 10 minutes. He is worried about his club football but has even more worries about the national team in a World Cup year. |
I spoke to Michael today and he said he had some pain but he had a scan today and they said that's normal. He was very optimistic, very confident that he'll be okay. |
I talked to Sol Campbell and he wants to be at the World Cup, that's for sure. |
I talked to the Swedish coach before the draw and we agreed we did not want to meet at this World Cup. But overall we are happy with the draw, its not easy but it could have been worse. |
I think England should be happy, there are groups much more difficult than England's. The man after me will be happy with this draw. It's very interesting and very good. |
