00:00At the moment, I think everyone's very negative about it,
00:03but I think as time goes on, he'll be remembered as a legend.
00:12Now the expectation has changed based on what he's achieved,
00:16and people want more. And that's just the nature of the beast.
00:23He's got all the credentials, from coaching-wise,
00:28to the job he's done at Bournemouth, and then of course Newcastle,
00:32which, that was a lot of pressure.
00:35For me, he's the one to do it.
00:38He's got the right mentality.
00:43I see the way Gareth handles things, I see Eddie in the same way.
00:51Brighton was fantastic, a brand of football that was so enjoyable to watch.
00:57Whether he's coached enough to then take on this job, that would be my worry.
01:07When that name was thrown into the hat, to me it was just a shock.
01:12The FA will see that Gareth's appointment has most certainly worked,
01:16and for that reason, it wouldn't surprise me if they chose to go down that route again.
01:23Top coach, top manager, has done it. Some jobs better than others.
01:30But I can totally understand why he would be a name thrown in there.
01:35I don't see him as the man to take over.
01:42I think it was one of the best decisions in my life, to come here in England
01:48and enjoy this great football country.
01:54I think if it's not going to be an Englishman, it's not going to be Eddie.
01:57Pochettino, all day long for me, has done great things with young players,
02:03starting at Southampton, playing a brand of football, coming to Tottenham,
02:07getting the best out of players, young players, making them better players.
02:12I am who I am and I am where I am because of how I am.
02:16So with all the good and the bad things, if there cannot be that anymore, stop it.
02:22My energy level is endless, because it always was, and now it's not.
02:30Do you feel like you've completed English football?
02:33I had that feeling last season, when we won Istanbul, I said it's over.
02:37What I'm doing here, it's over. There's nothing left.
02:42If Pep managed this squad for this tournament, I think we would have won it.
02:47We would have probably won it pretty comfortably.
02:52For me that would obviously be a huge, huge shock,
02:55but she's obviously done an incredible job and has been a winner.
03:00What I'm trying to do is be authentic,
03:04but improve myself all the time.
