nice to see you I'm just behind here look back back left okay first time we've seen you since since you's got the job so first and foremost congratulations thank you how proud are you to call yourself the all right interim but the the men's senior England manager yeah I think it's um a real proud moment obviously for for for my family myself I think it's um it's been a really hectic couple of weeks um trying to get my head around the um you know the magnitude of the job the getting around to as many games as I can try and see as many players as I can um you know I've I've been lucky or unlucky in the past that I've done this before in terms of taken over from from a shortterm point of view um obviously at Club level um generally you go into a club where things aren't going very well but obviously this is the opposite you know I think it's fair to say the um the job that GTH and Steve did and the position that you know I'm picking the current Squad up are in a totally different position than what they they they inherited I think the expectation now around the squad and the players is really exciting so I understand that I'm in a really privileged position um one that I'm really looking forward to I'm excited about it um looking forward to meeting up with the players um getting getting to the squad out today was an important bit you know it was important that like I spoke about before put in my own stamp on the squad a little bit but recognizing how well they've done in the past you know we've been so close um a couple of times and you know recognizing that so um but I thought it was important that we we put some fresh faces in and and you know put our own little Mark on the on the squad you'll be expecting this next question um you've got the job on an intering basis do you want it long term I think for me that's not really important um again the mistakes I've made in the past when I've been in these kind of positions is that you know I spend that much time telling people that I don't want the job and I actually forget to do the job so for me the most important thing is the camp is the games uh the priority is to get out of the Nations league b um that's that's a big thing um and just doing a good job um don't really worry too much about the you know the future too much it's really important that you know I'll concentrate on on today and tomorrow we've seen your under 21 side playing a really attacking style yeah um is that one of your kind of key principles I wonder if you can give us an idea of what your sty is going to be like for the men's Senior Team and whether it will differ how it will differ from from gareth's South case yeah style um I won't really say it was my style I think I'm really really fortunate with the the pool of players we've got to to pick from we've got some really exciting attacking players so if you can if you can get players in positions where they're very very strong um they give people chance to um showcase their ability that's a big thing um you You' have seen in the summer we were we were we had to be quite um creative with the way that we played because we had a we had a lack of players in certain positions so you know the the position on the pitch is just as important in terms of getting players into areas where they can be creative and and and create chances and attack um but the opposite to that is understanding that you you've got to dominate your opponent in and out of possession that's a really big thing you know it's it's great that you know we want to be seen as an attacking team but you know from from The Summer's point of view we we went through the whole tournament and did concede a goal which was Testament to The Defenders as well and the way that they they defended their their own box so um playing to the player strengths would be a big a big part of the the philosophy H as you mentioned there you went through won the Euros last summer there's five of those players from that Squad yeah in in this one how important was that for you to to bring those through and to work with the players that you you don't know so well already yeah I think um look looking at the the squad that we've picked today I've worked with the majority of whether that be whether I was when when I was assisting um the 21s before or work with them currently so I think it was important to not only with the players but get get staff around me as well that understand how I work and how I you know want to see a camp run um understand the the quick turn around between days between Meetup and match preparation and playing in the game so um you know the players that have that have been caught up um and that are you know their first caps are really exciting players they you know very proud it was you know great phone calls to make this morning to to congratulate them and and you know it's they they fully deserve the the chance that they're going to get and just ask about two of those players you've called up particularly in Midfield Morgan Gibbs white and Angel Gomez what what can they bring bring to the squad um so I'm I'm sure people will be a lot more aware of Morgan maybe than Angel um Morgan's a a very uh attacking player full of energy um very creative very exciting brilliant attitude excellent work rate um very difficult to play against um you know he's he's been really successful with England which I thought as well was was important that you know a lot of these players that we've we've called in are used to winning they're used to winning um and getting to L stage of the tournaments and doing really well um you know Morgan and and and Angel for instance would have would have been Part of That World Cup team um a few years back that that W obviously they've done the Euros as well so that was an important thing Angel Angel's probably different to what we would have seen in the past in terms of the um the center midfielder that's um probably a little bit more physical more robust um Angel's very technical um he controls the game with his skill and his technique um he's very very determined he's got an excellent attitude loves football um like I said technically and tactically he's excellent and I think he's a he's a player that people are going to really be excited to see and in defense a big name back in Harry MaGuire and one missing in in kuke just tell us about those two pleas yeah so um it was it was important I said like I said before that we've um we put our own mark on the squad I think um the fact that call hasn't played um this season you know would um would suggest that cityia potentially um phasing him in gently you know we have to respect that I think it's important that that players that are coming in are ready to play and and are up to speed and I think that's you know that's going to be a big thing of the squad that the you know the I'd say 98% of the squad have played a lot of minutes so far this season and in a good position um Harry McGuire um obviously missed out on the on the Euro Squad through injury I see him as a you know real good leader um especially with the center backs that we've got as well along with Jon Stones you know EZ and um and Levi you know good good Young G Defenders that and Mark that are still learning the game but I think from from someone like him will be a good good example for him K nice to meet you congratulations on the interim appointment you worked very closely with gareis sgate in the past what conversations have you had on the buildup to today um I mean obviously it's it will unfair to to tell you what what we spoke about but he was he's very supportive of of of of myself we we had a great relationship as as I did with Steve as well and the job that they did um especially from a 21's point of view made it so much easier for me to to manage the squad and um the the seeming seemingless process where where the players went between the 21s and the senior team and the communication and and managing that was was Med my job a lot easier um like I said they're both really supportive and they're definitely um two coaches and people that I'll I'll be looking to um help me in the future GIS the most successful manager since s FY but the expectation had then risen on him and he faced a lot of negativity and some really ugly scenes during reaching a European final yeah did that make you question taking up this interim position at all um no not really I think um you know I'm really really confident in the in the job that I can do um I think we've I think with with the players that we've got as well we've got a real capability of of doing so well in the future I think the not only with the with the senior team the 21s and the rest of the pathway we've got some really exciting players in the system so you know to get to a major final and to qualify for for a final especially is is no no mean feat so and I think I think we're all aware that the um the next candidate that comes in you know the the the the objectives are quite simple it's to win a major tournament so um you that that'll be the case in the future I'm sure and at left back the ongoing problem but quite good to have someone like Ashley Cole in your team then yeah yeah definitely yeah Ash's um he someone that we've that I've worked with now with the with the 21s along with jolian Tim Dima um you know people that I really trust that have got um a great way about them good coaches but more importantly good people and I think with especially with um some of the age of some of the players in in the squad you know to have someone that they can they can talk to about different experiences on and off the pitch you know is really inv valuable but um Ash has been a he's has been brilliant for us thanks P Henry but we'll go to Jack pit Brook next Jack hi Lee congratulations um we've seen with scalone and Dente and Southgate himself coaches stepping up from under 21s under 20's Olympic teams why do you think there is that Trend at the moment I think I think maybe um that there it's it's it's quite different to to work international football to Club football in terms of the um you know the amount of contact time especially that you get with with players understanding what players are in the system as well in terms of um the ones that you can select is really helpful um and obviously yeah you seeing how Spain well Spain done in the in the future I don't think it's I don't think it's a blueprint by any by any means I think um you know I think you managing uh International play at the minute really suits me uh really suits the way that that I want to coach it helps that the players that you are coaching when you do pick a squad which is quite different to a a club team is that you you're basically picking the best players um to to to play in a certain way and hopefully and to do well so but yeah I can see that there's you know I don't I don't see that as a as a as a blueprint but it's been quite a successful one for Spain you've listed Trent amongst the Defenders Gareth used to list him amongst the midfielders where where do you see his his very special talents working best for England yeah well I think for for me for for this Camp especially it'll be it'll be a right back B be playing in defense um I think um I think Trent like a lot of the players especially modern day fullbacks especially have got all around attributes that almost turn him into midfielders you know he's very comfortable receiving the ball he's very he's got a great range of passing um as as as as Rico um and Kyle Walker Peters I watched as well at Southampton the other day you know they're they're very comfortable possession and playing forwards and receiving the ball so um at some point I would imagine we will see Trent arriving into that that kind of area but I'll see him as a right back Jeff Brook hi Lee um what's your thinking in terms of whether this is a squad for these two games or for the longterm future well the these two games especially um I think it was important that at this point the season look looking back on on my previous septembers it's important that you pick a squad with players that can hit the ground running um that have that have already got match minutes into into their legs um because you know there's no there's no way that we can underestimate Republic of Ireland and Finland um two tough games especially the first game in Dublin so um that was that was my thinking um players that aren't involved definitely aren't rolled out I don't think I'm in the position to you know roll players in or out um all of the staff are going to a lot of lot of games and watching all of their minutes all of their touches so um and anyone that's um that's that's played in the past or or in the future has got a chance of being in the next Squad it's really important for me that they're playing well and they're in form and they're you know they're pushing on I think that's it I think when you when you when you're a squad is named there should be a you know a proud moment that you you deserve to get in the squad and and I'm sure these these these players feel that there's obviously going to be a lot of attention on on you personally taking the England team to Ireland next week just to clarify your your family's roots rural County Cork yeah have you been there yeah can you just talk about how important that is to you well it's um it's it was a real proud part of my career you know 4 caps for the Republic of Ireland is something that I'm proud of um you know I'm as equally as proud as of of today you know being being named interim manager head coach of of England is a is a massive achievement and something that I don't underestimate but I'm definitely proud of my Heritage you was back in Cork in the summer um at a family reunion so it was it was good timing that you know to go back and and see so many so many family um something that I'm you know I'm really looking forward to the game in Dublin I think it's going to be it's going to be a brilliant occasion um a proud moment you know obviously you know I've not been back to dubling for a while in terms of from a football point of view but it's a it's a match that I'm really motivated for um you know cannot wait to to get there are we W is your family from D manway yeah the right yeah to James hi Lee congratulations good luck um just firstly can you just tell us when and how you found out the fa wanted you to be the interim coach yes so obviously Gareth had had made his decision and it was probably a couple of days later where myself and and John durma had a conversation very informal we we speak most days anyway um basically just just thinking about what what what my thoughts were um I suppose if it was something that I would be um not willing to do but capable of you know CU you know it's um it's obviously a big responsibility um I think the fact that I've worked with so many players um I understand an international Camp I understand selection um I I probably see myself as maybe a safe Pair of Hands at the minute um so it was a it was a really it was a really easy decision um really proud moment um you know I've always said all along that I feel really supported and trusted by um not only John but you know the the rest of the people on the board have have made me feel so supported and and I've always felt that so you know I don't feel like it's it's me and it's it's my decision I feel like I've got a really strong team of of Staff behind me that are that are that are part of this little period [Music]
