LEE CARSLEY SIDESTEPPED questions about whether he wants the England job on a permanent basis after the interim boss said he will “hopefully” be returning to his role with the Under-21s following next month’s fixtures.
Carsley’s bold, attack-minded line-up was flawed and the performance damaged the England Under-21s manager’s chances of permanently succeeding Gareth Southgate as senior team boss. Picked up on his eye-catching comment that he will “hopefully” return to the Under-21s, Carsley said: “Well, I said at the start that I wouldn’t rule myself in or out and that’s still the case.
Asked directly whether he wants the England job or not, he said: “Well, nothing’s changed in what I said in the first press conference.“But, like I say, after the first camp when we won two games and had two really good performances, my ambitions didn’t change.“I’m really happy and comfortable in terms of the communication I have with my bosses, so nothing’s changed in that respect.”
“I thought that we were second best a lot of times. Obviously we tried something different with the formation and the areas of the pitch we tried to get into.“Obviously looking at the result and the way the game panned out it was a challenging night for us. “I could have quite easily have gone with a recognised nine, we had two on the bench, but I thought it was important to try something different.
