Stephen Gerrard said he believed that the so -called men in England, which was part of it, failed to win anything because “we were all losers arrogant.”
The former Liverpool player, who is rumored to be looking to return to Rangers as a manager after the dismissal of Russell Martin, got 114 capsules for the three lions between 2000 and 2014.
It was part of a team that was often called the “golden generation” because of the excess talent at its disposal, which also included the likes of David Beckham, Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Ashley Cole, Paul Scholes and Michael Owen.
However, the team has never exceeded the last eight of the main championship, and for many, it has never been close to achieving their potential.
Speaking to Ferdinand on Rio Ferdinand, it shows Podcast, Gerard says that the lack of the personal relationship between the players was in the end the fall of the group, and how these relationships differ completely now.
“I think we have the intelligence of football and intelligence to adapt and make it work together,” Gerard said.
“But there was a bigger problem with England in my opinion. I think we were all losers arrogant.
“I am watching a shortcut now and I see (Jimmy) sitting next to Paul Scholes in the discussion of these fans and it seems that they were the best colleagues in 20 years.
“I see Carra’s relationship with Gary Neville and it seems that they were colleagues for 20 years. I may be more friendly and friendly with you (Ferdinand) now more than ever when I played with you for 15 years.
Why did we not call when we were 20, 21, 22, 23? Was the ego? Was the competition? Why are we all mature enough now and in the stages of our lives where we are closer and more close now.
“Why did we not be able to communicate with his teammates in England at the time? And I think it was due to culture inside England, and that we never all arrived. All this in our rooms is too much, we were not friendly or related. We were not a team. We were not at any time a good and strong team.”
It seems that the latest English talent has already crashed over the achievements of their ancestors, as they reached successive European finals and the semi -finals of the 2018 World Cup.
The men of Thomas Tuchille will host the neighbors Wales in a friendly in Wembley on Thursday before a trip to Latvia on the next Tuesday, knowing that the victory can be seen as a safe qualification for the World Cup next summer in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
While Gerard said he liked to play for his country, he also admitted that he sometimes hated international service.
“I hated it. I didn’t enjoy it. I hated the rooms (the hotel),” he added.
“On my first days, I had days when I was, like Low Down. Like I am in this room for seven hours, what would I do?
“There was no social media, we had no DVD operator or anything.
“I used to love the games. I used to love to play for England. I was really proud. I used to enjoy the training sessions, but it was 90 minutes a day. Then I was alone.
“I didn’t feel part of a team. I didn’t feel contact with my teammates with England.
“I didn’t feel with Liverpool. It was the best day of my life. I felt that the employees were looking at me, as I felt privacy. I felt that I could not wait to get there. With England, I just wanted games and training sessions and then be far away.”
