Gareth Southgate

Unless you're at a club long enough that can develop a philosophy of playing and recruiting players that fit that way of playing, then you have got to be adaptable. ”

If we want to be a top team, we can't get to 3-0 and suddenly decide not to play without the ball. We have to play with intelligence right through the game. ”

Our country has been through some difficult moments recently in terms of its unity. But sport can unite. ”

I expect all the players, even the younger ones, to show leadership in their own way. ”

My job is to allow people to dream. Make the impossible seem possible. ”

I am extremely proud to be appointed England manager. However, I am also conscious getting the job is one thing; now I want to do the job successfully. ”

When you're a leader and a manager, you have to make decisions which are right for your group to achieve the primary objective. Sometimes those decisions will be criticised. ”

Very often, you can go into one game and do really well, and then you have to find that level of performance so quickly again. ”

I've got to think through all of those things - competition for places, players who need match minutes, and keeping the unity of the squad. ”

For me, it is all about the bigger picture and what is right for England. I haven't enjoyed watching us play in all our games, but away in Germany, against Spain and Germany at home, I've enjoyed the performance. ”
