aim cup detail england excited fans involved ireland northern players prepare qualify since supported thank
I'm very excited because the big aim for us since two years ago has been to qualify for the World Cup and there were a lot of discussions about England not going, especially after the Northern Ireland game. Now the big aim is to prepare everything in detail for the World Cup. I should like to thank all the players who have been involved and all the fans who have supported us, they've been fantastic.
best pick
I'm very open-minded. What is important is that I pick the 23 best players.
best check defenders injury rule time wait
I'm told it's not the same injury as before but I haven't been able to check it out yet. But I can say that we will wait a long time to rule him out because he is one of the best defenders in the world today.
avoid question
If we can avoid injuries, the only question is probably which centre-backs I will choose.
pick stage
I f we think that at some stage he could take part in the World Cup, then I will pick him.
ball win
If you put the ball up there, he will win it,
ability loves
His ability was an inspiration to everyone who loves football.
best chance extremely players small
He's extremely important as a captain, and one of the best players in the world today. If it's only a small chance that he can play, you should take it.
although exactly happen madrid stays
If he stays at Real Madrid then he doesn't know how much he will play. I think something has to happen very soon, although exactly what, I don't know.
football player understand until
I can't understand why a player can't play football until he's charged.
football pleased spirit starting won
I am very pleased that we won and are starting to play football with the right spirit again.
official pitch practice promised talked
I complained after each of the practice sessions we had at the stadium. I talked to the UEFA official responsible for the pitch and he promised it would be repaired before the game. I don't know if they did that.
player shown
I don't look at it as a problem. He has never shown 'hot' temperament in the big games. But there isn't a player in the world who is perfect.
wants
I don't need to tell him (how to score), I couldn't. I think it's better I don't and let him do what he wants to do.
