Former England defender Sol Campbell thinks that England should replicate their World Cup form in the UEFA Nations League. England’s group in the UEFA Nations League is a very tricky one which has Spain and World Cup runners-up Croatia. England begin their Nations League campaign against Spain at Wembley on Saturday.
Sol Campbell said, “I think now Gareth has showed he is not afraid to bring in new additions. I think that is healthy as well, and the squad now really has to mould into a force going forward. He’s really got to inspire them, they’ve had a lot of experience and that experience is valuable going forward in those big, big games.
He’s really got to inspire them, they’ve had a lot of experience and that experience is valuable going forward in those big, big games.The more you’re in these big games and get through it, the confidence will start rising and as a squad, you feel that together. It’s all about momentum now, pushing forward, and pushing individually as players and as a team.”
He knew their mentality, I think that helps as well, so you’re not wasting time figuring out ‘what’s he like’ which sometimes you have to deal with if you’re in domestic football. You just have to get on with it and learn as you go along. But he had that knowledge before, which was invaluable really.”
