Yes.

And in the two tournaments, you lose to a portable.

What was that?

I know what the preparation was like.

I actually took a penalty and Miss Rumble, when you come away from England, was there anything you would have done differently?

Yes, I would have taken 2006 for sure.

A mental coach for penalties.

That was a big mistake.

That's the biggest mistake I did.

I think I could because I thought that the players who has bean there we had a very and many players in the team 2006 who has been around for a long time.

So I thought they will handle this.

I will have more or less everything.

And at the end, we were not especially good.

That penalties repetition that because no one knows what you were doing at the time.

We were taking penalties after every elements, every threatening.

So basically I was a substitute and got brought on to take a penalty because I never missed one in about six weeks.

But I always say the difference was I was taking them against Paul Robinson.

Yeah, if they defend himself, But you were also taking them in training.

Yes, you don't have 50 60,000 and you don't have television knowing that they're sitting millions of millions of people, but is that the whole nation is not the same for every country.

Yeah, but England especially, I don't know.

You would know better.

I think the pressure at that time waas very, very big that we should go to the final.

And when you standing there to take a penalty, you feel it.

Even if you are strongly even if you're experience, even if you don't want to feel it, I think you do.

That makes it more difficult.

I actually took £3 of two for Liverpool.

Slower than what?

Mr 14 for England go.

Of course, it's a day of reckoning.

When you went on, you knew that was your That was your mission.

What about this night was confident.

Containing spends right is not the same as saying.

Of course it's no, but I think this this this argument that that's been mentioned is exactly, but it's very difficult to recreate that you cannot.

It's difficult cannot train it.

No, you can't train a book.

People will then argue about we create and a goal for he was a port to in the open, You know, some stories that Yeah, he asked the still practice.

And we did the practice.

Not like me.

Never practiced every day after training.

Ah, on dhe big players of the actual penalty takers in sort of Gerrard and lamb part Exactly.

Back and missing.

Born in in a against porter Hit one over the bottle.

If that was just in the game boat.

Uh, I think it did become a lack of political whenever have Bean in penalty shoot out with Liverpool?

I've always believed his win because we will live in before the penalties were taken.

I think we'll win this.

What is England yours that we lose in before the penalty was taken?

Because that isn't that sort of belief.

If the fans felt exactly the same, I was in the stadium.

You can expect young players those players normally no taking penalties during the weekend in their clubs missing because it's too big for them and they're not juice to penalties.

But in our case, there were experienced penalty players.

Before we leave 2006 I've got to ask you about Baden Baden, which was, of course, the England base.

And you made the decision to allow Jamie to bring his family and his friends.

Can I?

It wasn't just James's family and friends.

It was everybody's family and everybody's friends that were allowed to be there on DDE.

Obviously it became a real saga, didn't it?

In the papers every day there were headlines of things that were happening.

Was that not a huge distraction?

Maybe.

But I don't know if the players felt that I don't think so.

I didn't feel it because I I but for me it was very normal to invite families not staying in our hotel thing away.

I decide when they can have allowance or dinner with the family.

I decide that nobody else and all the other national team I know about Sweden, for example.

They do it.

Do they create all that course?

They they don't have a Victoria Beckham in Sweden, But it wasn't just They don't have anything to express in Sweden.

Ah, so it was The press is full.

No, I wouldn't say that, but I don't think that we didn't win the World Cup because of the families.

Absolutely not.
