00:00I think everyone's seen in this competition that I don't think there is a favourable side of the draw.
00:04Every team, every opponent that you come up against is really tough to play against.
00:07If we're going to go far in this tournament, you know, your defence needs to be really strong.
00:16I don't think the team's too focused on that, to be honest.
00:19I think we're just appreciative of those that have actually just come and supported the team in general, to be honest.
00:25He's been fantastic. I think if you look at his record, speaks for itself.
00:30Everyone's behind the manager, that's for sure.
00:33I think everyone's just really appreciative of the manager, especially me, you know.
00:37Him giving me my debut for England, him showing so much confidence in me.
00:47It's nice to hear, it's nice to hear.
00:49I wouldn't say I'm the best player in the world.
00:51There's been quite a few really good performances, in my opinion.
00:54But yeah, I think I'm just really enjoying the tournament, enjoying being here.
00:58You know, just really grateful.
01:05His consistent performances throughout other tournaments,
01:09his help with me on training pitches before, you know, it's been amazing.
01:22Playing with John's a dream, to be honest.
01:24He's a top professional, makes my life so much easier and I'm just following in his footsteps.
01:29So, you know, it's been fantastic.
01:35Top, unbelievable player.
01:37His career shows what he's already done in the game.
01:40But his tenacity, his leadership on the pitch really shows, especially in tough moments.
01:51We know they're a really good side.
01:53Obviously, Kovic, I think he was third in the group they qualified.
01:56They've got some really good players in their team.
01:58Lobotkov being one, the obvious one from Napoli.
02:00But a lot of good players.
02:02You know, I think it's going to be another tough opponent, tough challenge to deal with.
02:06It's important that we just have to be ready for those challenges
02:09and match whatever intensity they're going to bring.
