I'm slightly concerned, because as a centre-half who took a lot of knocks to the head I'm not normally synonymous with being a fashion icon.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
Young players will suffer at times and have days when they can't cope or adjust.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
I'm sure at some point in my life, I'll want to go back to club football because people will say, 'Oh well, he did OK as an international manager, but he didn't work as a club manager.'
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
First and foremost, I love the job I'm in. I'm proud to be England manager.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
Sometimes it's not always a good decision to play if people's energy isn't quite there.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
The players can associate playing for England with enjoyment, fun, and not being under siege and feeling everything is against them. There's an energy and a connection back. That's important in the short, mid, and long term as well.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
You have to be savvy. You have to be tactically aware, because that's what makes the difference in the big matches.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
If you are not constantly improving and learning, then you are going to be stuck and not progress.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
Every time a young player comes in, he is excited and wants to prove himself, but also in football, the other players want to prove themselves to any new player that comes in, so that competition is the only way to stimulate performance.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
I've often said it's not just the level of your opponent: it's can you handle wearing the shirt and playing for England?
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
I'm determined to give everything I have to give the country a team that they're proud of and one that they're going to enjoy watching play and develop.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
I am extremely proud to be appointed England manager. However, I am also conscious getting the job is one thing; now I want to do the job successfully.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
Good decisions are not necessarily playing it short every time you get the ball. The best teams can play longer or have a threat behind or play through or around. They adapt.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
Always, as a coach, you have to be thinking not to flood the players with information. You have to think what's key for the player, for that team, and how do we deliver it in a way that it might stick and have an effect.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
It's important to recognise every player is different in their own characteristics, personality, and what they respond to.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
Unless you're at a club long enough that can develop a philosophy of playing and recruiting players that fit that way of playing, then you have got to be adaptable.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
I have been in sport in different areas for long enough to know what my life is day to day.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
If Brexit happens, there will have to be change - whether people want it or not - around work permits. It won't be freedom of movement for European players, so that landscape will change.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
A lot of teams who go on to win trophies lose in quarter-finals or semi-finals first.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
When I think back to what my dreams were as a kid, the only one I had was to play for England.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
In the end, success in a shoot-out is being able to perform a particular skill under pressure.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
I didn't like it as a player when I felt a coach was fudging the reasons for leaving me out. As a player, I wanted to know where I was lacking in my game and where I could improve in order to get back in the team.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
Whenever you name a team and whenever you pick a squad, that is when you have to make the most difficult calls. To tell a player, 'I'm not selecting you, and these are the reasons why...' it's tough.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
We always have to believe in what is possible in life and not be hindered by history or expectations.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
In England, we've spent a bit of time being lost as to what our modern identity is.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
Ultimately, playing at international level, at all age groups, is good for a player's development, and that is good for clubs, too.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
In a team, you need players who are technically good and can perform under pressure.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
I was always the captain of every club I played for, so I would expect to be somebody who put themselves forward.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
I played international football for England, and in many games, we were technically inferior to the opposition.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
I guess, at a club, you feel supported. Sometimes, with the national team, it hasn't always felt that way.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
It's impossible to please everybody all of the time, but you just have to believe that you're making decisions for the right reasons.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
In life, there are really complex, difficult jobs, and some are more complicated and difficult than others. But when you look around at inventions, or records that have been broken, you have to tell yourself that anything is possible.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
I'm very conscious I've got a lot of faults, the same as everyone, and I have done plenty of things wrong.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
When you become England manager, the change in profile and interest in what you're doing is on another level.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
You don't want to be too proud, to get carried away, but if people give you praise, you don't want to throw it back.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
I nearly missed the births of both of my children, and both were around international weeks.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
As part of their recovery after a match, you want players to stay in the cold water for as long as they can, but naturally, they want to get out. You might have races or games in order to keep them engaged.
Quote by -Gareth Southgate
It's an incredible privilege to be the England manager, but when you sit and think about the people who have got to this point before, people I hugely respect and admire... it's difficult to put it into perspective, really.
