After becoming England's interim manager, Carsley for the first time publicly explained his coaching philosophy and selection criteria, showing clear plans for the team's future and firm confidence. He firstly recalled the moment he took office, saying that it was a moment full of pride and challenge. Although time is short and the responsibility is huge, he has quickly got into the work, and familiarized himself with the players and tactics by watching a lot of matches.
Casley emphasized that the core of his coaching philosophy is to make the most of his players' strengths, especially those of the attacking players. He believes that when players are put in positions that best suit them and given the opportunity to showcase their talents, England will be able to create exciting attacking opportunities. This player-centered philosophy is designed to energize the team's overall energy and creativity, and provide fans with an exciting match experience.
In terms of selection, Kasli showed a deep understanding and respect for the current situation of the team. He mentioned his experience working with most of the players, which not only helped him integrate into the team faster, but also gave him a more comprehensive understanding of the players' abilities and characteristics. Newly selected young players such as Gibbs-White, Angele Gomes and Maduekai have gained favor with Kasli for their outstanding performances in their respective fields. He particularly praised these players for their attacking prowess, creativity and positive attitudes, believing that they will inject new energy and hope into the England team.
Meanwhile, Carsley also explained the reasons for Walker's non-selection and Maguire's selection. He believes that a player's athleticism and game time are crucial for the national team, and therefore chose players who can contribute to the team immediately. For Maguire's selection, on the other hand, he emphasized the importance of leadership roles and the passing on of experience, believing that Maguire will serve as a role model for the young defenders and bring stability and leadership to the team.
In addition, Casley spoke about the importance of developing players through the English system. He believes that there are significant differences between international and club soccer in terms of management and coaching styles, but he is confident that he can use his experience and knowledge to manage international players and select those who are best suited to the team's tactical system. He singled out the success of Spanish soccer as a source of inspiration and insight to create a pathway to success for England.
