Yes or no.Did England have a clear playing style last summer？Not last summer，no.What was missing？

The identity，the clarity，the rhythm，the repetition of patterns.

The freedom of players，the expression of players，the hunger.

They were more afraid to drop out of the tournament，in my observation，than having the excitement and hunger to win it.

What is the missing piece then？Excitement.How do you mean？

The view that people feel that's the team to beat.

That they feel that's the team to beat.

That we arrive with a group to beat.

That we know already when we arrive，once we qualified，once we arrive that everyone knows this is the team to beat.
