00:00 I really don't understand it. He's a player who I think 79 caps now for England. His commitment
00:12 and what he's delivered for England is exceptional. His role within the group on and off the pitch
00:21 is phenomenally important. He's the one that has taken the likes of Jude Bellingham under
00:28 his wing as soon as he came in the squad. He provides a brilliant role model for all
00:32 of the group in his professionalism, in his approach to every part of his work. Some people
00:42 decided to boo. I really don't understand what that is for. We've got players in England's
00:49 shirts. Come on, we play Italy here Tuesday. Let's get behind this team. I know we weren't
00:57 our best tonight but that was due to a lot of changes that we made and we gave the players
01:02 that we put out there a really difficult task because to be cohesive with so many changes
01:06 is tough. I would just say this is a team that are delivering a lot and they all deserve
01:16 everybody's support.
