The coach said he'd be bringing players on and off so it wasn't a surprise, ... It's just one of those things. |
The defining factor was Frank does it for Chelsea and to have a regular penalty-taker is important for us. |
The football side of things is much better now and I'm pleased with how it's going, |
The good thing is that they only won 1-0. It's going to be very difficult now, but we have the players to go there and win. |
The intrusion and the invasion into my life is tough because I've got children, |
The most important thing is that he is the right man for the job. I know the majority would prefer an English boss and we have got some good English bosses out there, but there are also some great foreign managers. |
The players and a lot of people in England knew it before this tournament but now Europe is finding out about Wayne Rooney. And we're very lucky to have such a good player in our team. |
The relationship between the players and the FA at the moment is questionable, |
The secret of the team's success is easy - unity and hard work. |
The spotlight will always be on me, but it's something I'm learning to live with as the years go by. |
The squad had a get together yesterday just with the players, and it felt like being part of a club side, |
The way the players are with each other, everyone gets on, there's no problems at all, it's the best atmosphere I've ever had. Confidence is very high. To have the players and the atmosphere we have will help us a lot. |
There are issues to consider but my personal life is fine, the team is doing well and I'm happy with the coach. Everything is coming together. |
There are probably going to be many teams and many players who are going to try and wind Wayne Rooney up. He can handle it. Everyone knows he's a great talent. It's been well documented about his discipline but I don't think there's going to be a problem. |
There is always going to be criticism but I am a strong enough person to take that. |
