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.

I guess, at a club, you feel supported. Sometimes, with the national team, it hasn't always felt that way.

I played international football for England, and in many games, we were technically inferior to the opposition.

I was always the captain of every club I played for, so I would expect to be somebody who put themselves forward.

In a team, you need players who are technically good and can perform under pressure.

Ultimately, playing at international level, at all age groups, is good for a player's development, and that is good for clubs, too.

In England, we've spent a bit of time being lost as to what our modern identity is.

It was very painful to be so close to a World Cup final.

We always have to believe in what is possible in life and not be hindered by history or expectations.

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.

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.

In the end, success in a shoot-out is being able to perform a particular skill under pressure.

When I think back to what my dreams were as a kid, the only one I had was to play for England.

We have to make the players who haven't played matches feel valued.

A lot of teams who go on to win trophies lose in quarter-finals or semi-finals first.

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.

I have been in sport in different areas for long enough to know what my life is day to day.

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.

It's important to recognise every player is different in their own characteristics, personality, and what they respond to.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Good teams score late goals.

Harry Maguire's potential is huge.

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?

I was probably scarred by getting the sack at Middlesbrough.

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.

If you are not constantly improving and learning, then you are going to be stuck and not progress.

You have to be savvy. You have to be tactically aware, because that's what makes the difference in the big matches.

You have to cope with expectation if you want to play for England.

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.

Sometimes it's not always a good decision to play if people's energy isn't quite there.

First and foremost, I love the job I'm in. I'm proud to be England manager.

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.'

Young players will suffer at times and have days when they can't cope or adjust.

I'm no David Beckham.

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.

In any sport, you're at your best when you're playing without thinking too much.

You want all players to be free of overthinking. That's when they're in a good place and a good flow.

I think one of the important things around tournaments and qualifying tournaments is the jeopardy around it.

I think we've always got to have a mind of the feeling for the supporters about the importance of each match. We've got to be careful not to make tournaments too big and then make qualifying too straightforward.

There are lots of statements that have been made and haven't led to change and reform. For me, the broader discussion around racism - education is key.

The world always changes, and teams go through evolutions.

If we are gong to be an outstanding team, we need players who are going to step up in the big moments and realise, every time they play for England, they have the chance to be involved in an iconic moment, a historic performance, and that they have that choice every time they go on the field.

I think I've made decisions for the right reasons, and I've always communicated them in a respectful way. As a manager, you can't do any more than that. I sit comfortably with that. But I've not enjoyed it.

No England international is a practice match. Every time you wear this shirt, it is of importance for you, the country, and the supporters.

Results are a consequence of doing things well and having high standards, improving the detail of how we play.

More expectation is a healthy thing and something we have to embrace.

Always, as a player, you are questioned and challenged about the next step. That's what drives the very best: they want to continually win.
