Carsley on England’s style of play

The England boss said: ‘The skill of a coach is making sure you get the best out of the players that you’ve got in front of you, not trying to make them something that they’re not. I think we’ve done quite well in that.

‘We’ve tried to put them in positions where they can be really ­effective, whether that be with or without the ball.

‘Ideally, and I’ve spoken to the players about it, you want to coach a team where you’re watching the team play and you’re enjoying watching them. And that Spain game and the second half of the Germany game, you’re on the side, enjoying watching the players play and expressing themselves.

‘You want foreign journalists to speak about our players the way that we sometimes speak about their players in terms of their technical ability or the way that they can take the ball. I think we’re definitely changing that perception of English players.’
