00:00There seems to be quite a lot of surprise in the British media and the English media concerning the squad.
00:04Are you surprised by that reaction?
00:06No, I would be surprised if there was not a surprise in the debate. I think it comes with the job.
00:17Everyone who's with us on this journey in the first camp is a contender for the World Cup.
00:31The World Cup is coming to an end.
00:33But there's still a lot of work to be done.
00:35And that's what we're going to do.
00:45If you handle the pressure to be picked constantly at Arsenal, you can handle the pressure.
00:50It's as easy as that.
00:51He is available three times a week and one of the best teams in Europe.
00:55So he can handle the heat.
00:57I was surprised that Dan was never called up.
01:01He's such a tall guy but obviously it's easy to overlook him.
01:06It almost happened to me.
01:23Why Jordan? I think this is a pretty easy one.
01:26Jordan is first of all a serial winner.
01:28What he brings to every team is his leadership, his character, personality, energy.
01:34He makes sure that everyone lives by the standards.
01:38With this characteristic he embodies everything what we try to build.
01:57I had the strong feeling that we should nominate him.
02:03We should bring him in to push him to stay on that level.
02:07To not fall back in old routines.
02:10In the end it is about building a strong group.
02:14In the end the question is what you bring.
02:16Besides your talent, besides you being a top professional.
02:19Because this is in the end a given.
02:22What you bring to this group to make us better as a team.
