Lee Carsley has made a promising start as interim manager for the England football team. Despite securing two consecutive victories, he admits that he has not quite found his footing in this high-pressure role just yet. The Three Lions emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over Finland at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday, following a previous 2-0 triumph against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin over the weekend.
Carsley, who previously managed the Under-21s team, is being considered as a potential candidate for the full-time manager position. However, he humbly acknowledges that it has been a challenging experience for him to step into this role. In an interview with ITV, he confessed that he still does not feel completely comfortable, despite the recent win over Finland. He explains, "I've definitely been out of my comfort zone during this international window. It has been an enjoyable experience, but one that has required me to maintain high standards every single day. Thankfully, the staff and players have responded well to this approach, and we are now focused on building on our recent successes."
Former Manchester United player and football legend, Roy Keane, praised Carsley for his honesty and authenticity. Keane said, "He's not trying to be someone he's not, and that's very admirable. Good on him." The England captain, Harry Kane, also shared his positive experience working with Carsley so far. Kane, who scored both goals against Finland, revealed that the new manager has brought a great energy to the team and has encouraged them to play with freedom. He said, "Carsley has emphasized the importance of playing to our strengths and attacking the opposition, while also being disciplined without the ball. We have executed this game plan well in the last two matches, and I believe there is still room for improvement. It has been a fantastic start with him, and I am enjoying working with him."
