During the March International Breeta, the England national team debuts, headed by German head coach Thomas Tuhele in home matches against Albania and Latvia in the selection for the 20126 World Cup.

Before the start of the training cycle, the new mentor of “Three Lions” commented on the preparation for an important event in his career.

“I think, above all, you have a very powerful, emotional and meaningful national anthem, and I could not be proud of being standing on the side line and responsible for the game of the national team of England. It means a lot.

I assure you, it means a lot to me. But I feel that since the national anthem is so significant to the nation, so emotional and so powerful, I still have to earn my right to sing it.

I feel it’s not just a given. It cannot be simply sung in a child. Therefore, I decided that I would not sing him in my first matches.

I will get this right to results, creating a good team, proper performance of your work and creating a feeling that maybe even you guys, at some point, will say to me: “Now is the time and you to sing our hymn. It feels like you deserved it, and now you are a real Englishman!”

I can only say that I already know the words of your hymn, they are not complicated. But maybe I have to immerse myself more into the culture and earn my right from you, from the players, from the fans, that everyone feels that I should sing it at the moment that I am one of you, the manager of the England national team, I also have to sing it.

I met with his royal highness of Prince William last month in Windsor Castle, and it was simply impressive. The way he speaks and how emotionally ill for Aston Villa, and, of course, for the national team, is simply impressive.

It was very nice to talk to him Prince William about football. He has a strong opinion. It means a lot, and it is just something very, very special that comes with this role. It is honor and privilege, as well as a great responsibility.

He insisted on the qualities of Aston Villa players, which was not needed, because we are already very fond of them and admire what is happening in this club lately, ” – said a German specialist.

Matches against Albania and Latvia for England will take place on March 21 and 24.
