Good spirit amongst the England team
In recent weeks and months, many former England internationals such as Rio Ferdinand, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Michael Carrick have referenced the lack of team spirit and bond within the camp. For many players, the experience of playing abroad with their national team is unbeatable, but for Michael Carrick, the experience couldn’t have been more different. He admitted in an interview earlier this year that he said, “I'd been in the squad a long time and I'll be honest, I was finding it hard going away with England”.
Rio Ferdinand and Steven Gerrard also talked about how many England players were unable to put aside their intense rivalries at club level. Marcus Rashford himself said that Gareth Southgate’s group of players, “really is a team” compared to the Euro 2016 team. The win against Tunisia should allow England to develop this unity and spirit, which they will need against Belgium in particular.
