English players are as easy to coach. The problem is that the Premier League has the best players in the world, and statistically not all of them can be born in England. But we don't have enough English players: we are working very hard on it.

Young players need freedom of expression to develop as creative players... they should be encouraged to try skills without fear of failure.
