People say that English players play well at their clubs because they've got foreigners around. That's rubbish. Phil Foden's performances and Jude Bellingham's performances were because of Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham, not because they have foreigners around them.
One is tempo, two is intensity, three is aggression, and four is attacking, and I think we actually need to have those as cornerstones. A lot of the guys that play for England now, they have seen the Barcelona of 2011 and the Spanish sides of 2008-2012, and gone we need to keep possession and slow the tempo, but that's the antithesis of what the very best of English football should be.
