Beijing time on June 26, in the third round of the European Cup group stage England 0-0 draw Slovenia, England player Trippier accepted the media interview. He frankly said that although the team has successfully advanced, but the performance did not reach the expected level, and pointed out the team needs to improve the place.
Trippier began by confirming that the team's main goal had been achieved: "From the start of the Europa League, our priority was to qualify, and now we have done that. We came out on top of the group, but we are all aware that our performance could have been better. We are an honest team and we know we are capable of doing even better."
Talking about the aspects of the team that need to be improved, Trippier said, "There are a lot of areas where we can improve. From the start of the game until now, we have found that we can be more aggressive when pressing our opponents and can create more offense. We should be able to do better especially considering the strength and quality that our team possesses."
Trippier concluded, "Now, what we need to do is regroup and focus on those areas where we can improve. Of course, we're delighted to have progressed to the next round, but we're well aware that there's still a lot of room for improvement in our performance."
