Morgan Gibbs white says news of his call up for England's Nations League games against the Republic of Ireland and Finland still hasn't sunk in yet it's his first senior call up although the Nottingham Forest midfielder has previously played under carsley for England's under 21s who won the European championships last summer I got the call in the in the morning um and obviously it's a it was a dream come true I've wish at this moment since I was a little boy and obviously I got into training and all the boys didn't cuz we were in the afternoon the boys didn't I didn't tell any of the boys boys you know I wasn't really like didn't want to know the pressure um and then the squad came out as just before we went out to train and all the boys found out then and they all went crazy dancing H everyone was happy for me so no the support's been unbelievable and you had to keep that secret you knew and the players didn't yeah it wasn't really a secret but I just wasn't one to bring the attention onto myself um so when the obviously when the boys found out like I said they went they went crazy they were all happy for me so no um it's been incredible support and you know it's it's still can't believe it and still doesn't feel real and but no I'm buzzing to be and just can't wait for the games now well Gibbs white has been a creative Force for Forest this season no player has made more chances from open play and he's already trained with the England squad and he's been impressed by the positive attitudes in the camp it's been incredible um the players have been all the players have been welcoming the senior players um they've all been welcoming um and know training's been great and just to play with some of the names that are here it's been unbelievable and just learning from them dayto day is going to be a really good experience for me have you been made to feel welcomed by the senior players yeah definitely um soon as I walked through the door everyone was happy smiling um really excited to to be here um and like I said training's been unbelievable the standard of training is is top top top to what you would look at with Gib Gibbs and I like him I really like him I think he's a good intelligent footballer what it does give him is these fixtures are good fixtures they're good he's not playing against a Spain or someone like that where we're not gonna touch the ball and tactically you know and there's a rodri there who's probably the best in the world you know he's playing against a team that he should get a lot of the ball you know so it's a good start for him you stay in the squad stay in the squad oh Angel Gomez is another uncapped player in Lee carsley Squad the Le midfielder moved to France in 2020 after leaving Manchester United and has become a key player in League un the midfielder was one of the division's most creative players last season sitting at the top of the assist charts he was also second for chances created Gomez says he takes inspiration from his Godfather the former Manchester United forward Nanny yeah it's been a big influence funny enough I SP from last last week is someone that you know he'll check up on me see how I'm doing and he was an influence on Me growing up you know obviously playing for the club that I played for and I was a fan of he was someone that I used to watch and someone that used to give me joy but knowing him on a personal level um was amazing because I could see how he was not just on the pitch but off the pitch some of these players have been called up as well because they' they've played with with Lee and and they know the way he plays because he is different he wants to have a go plays on the front foot and plays a certain way so I think it will help with people like Gibbs White and the lad Gomez in people like that so they they understand how he plays [Music]
