England could easily have lost his services were it not for the manager’s powers of persuasion
“The way I hear him speak when he’s interviewed, his influence on the group, he’s become a really mature leader for us,” Southgate said.“His all-round game, great composure in a position where you don’t always find it and our senior players were important and he was the pick against Ukraine.”
“It’s always all credit to him and I’ve talked him out of retirement twice! Out of international football. After the Euros and after the World Cup, I think he loves being here and he’s wanted to keep going and now he’s thinking about how many caps can he get. He’s critical to us. If we’re talking about world-class players in their position in our team then he’s probably one of them.”
