Post-Match Analysis of Team Performance

team suffering before.

Today, how do you sum up what the team have found? I didn't talk about suffering.

I never talked about suffering.

We made life very, very difficult for ourselves today.

The result is fantastic. We're in the last four.

It's amazing, but

not happy with the performance. In what sense? In every sense.

Again, the commitment is there, but we made life very, very difficult for us in the

way we played, how we played.

Sloppy, a lot of technical mistakes, not fast enough,

not repetitive enough. We were lucky today.

Was that the occasion, getting to the players? I don't know. It's just...

Mentality thing? No, nothing. It's nothing. Mentality.

But if you're not happy with the players... This is pure mentality.

How can you ask about mentality now? This is pure mentality. It's not about...

When the players had the problem, was that the mentality?

There's no mentality problem. This is pure mentality.

This is pure mentality.

You can bottle it up and sell it.

So why is it a problem for mentality? It's the quality of our games.

It has nothing to do with mentality.

What about in terms of the players who came in then?

The adjustments you made? Rhys James.

You've backed Rhys James a lot throughout your career and today.

Morgan Rodgers was fantastic today.

Epps grew into the game.

Chet grew into the game. So full credit to them.

But overall, we got lucky today.

And it is about the sport, though.

You said it would be about the sport.

Yeah, but it's also a bit about quality. You need to play better. Okay.

What about Julian Bellingham and his quality?

Enough said. He does it every single match. World class.

And how do you sum up now what your team needs to find?

If you're not happy today,

we're a semi final. If you are in, a World Cup semi final.

Yeah, yeah. We will get better.

We will get better. We need to get better.

Now it's celebration. Now it's taking it all in. We have three days.

We need everything. We need better performance. Well, enjoy it. Well done.
