00:00Obviously the last Euros, we lost to Italy and that's firmly on the lads' minds,
00:07so we're going to do everything we can to make sure we win on Sunday.
00:18Dean Henderson said he thinks that's the best moment of his career
00:21and he didn't even score the goal, which was nice.
00:24I was trying to soak it all in because obviously those moments don't come around often,
00:29but also we're in such a small little bubble that you get into a routine and you just go on to the next.
00:37Next thing you know we're back on the bus playing Uno,
00:40on the way back to base camp ready for training and recovery the next day.
00:51He did a speech and said that the last Euros I think he played maybe one group game
00:56and then he didn't play again until the quarter-final and then the final.
01:00So as much as it may seem like you're not involved,
01:04everyone has to be ready because you're going to have a part to play.
01:13I would definitely say Rodri, just from his experience of what he's won at Man City.
01:19He's very crucial, like I said, for the build-up for them defensively.
01:26I feel like he dictates games with the way he plays, so I feel like Rodri is the main man for them.
01:40Very comfortable on the ball, he's confident.
01:44He demands the ball and to be such a young player and play at such a high level,
01:49you would never think the age he is.
01:52He plays with a certain aura and confidence about him and he's got a very bright future ahead of him.
02:05I know from previous when you play a game and it means so much to you
02:11and you lose that game, you take experience from that and you do all you can to make sure you don't make the same mistakes.
02:20So I think obviously the last Euros we lost to Italy and that's firmly on the lads' minds.
02:29So we're going to do everything we can to make sure we win on Sunday.
