Thomas (Tuchel) previously spoke about recovery time and quick turnarounds between matches. I know you haven't played yet, but how has the experience been in training camp? Have other players found it difficult? Have you experienced such a tight schedule before, with only about two and a half days between matches?

Yes, I've experienced this many times at club level. Obviously, with European competitions, there's always a match every two or three days, or three or two days, so I've been through that schedule many times. So I would say I'm quite used to it and adaptable to it. Sorry, what was the rest of your question?

That's what Thomas mentioned, that the turnaround this time is tighter than usual, playing on Wednesday after Saturday, rather than playing on Tuesday after Saturday. But is physical recovery difficult?

Exactly. I think it depends largely on how accustomed you are to this rhythm. We have many players here who participate in European competitions, whether it's the Champions League, Europa League, or other European competitions. So I think many teammates are used to it. Moreover, when you're here, you're representing your country. I think just the thought of representing your country has always made physical recovery a bit easier.

Hi Lewis, you just mentioned you're absorbing a lot of information to prepare for the match because you haven't attended a World Cup with your teammates. So exactly how much information? What specifically does that include? Do you enjoy having coaches provide such specific tactical details before you join a team?

Yes, I had some experience in the training camp in March, obviously in preparation for the World Cup. So I would say it's not that different from what I experienced there. However, when a group of players has been training or together for seven weeks, there's always some catching up I need to do on the guidance and tactical ideas the head coach is trying to convey and implement. Yes, as I said, if I can continue absorbing this information, it will only help me positively when I eventually get a chance to play.

There are many excellent players in this national team, with many great talents in the squad. Some players couldn't participate due to injury, and some have withdrawn from training camp. I think when the squad was announced, Thomas spoke about Trent Alexander-Arnold and the fight to keep this national team shirt. Do you feel that every time you step on the pitch for England, you must give your all to keep that shirt? Do you enjoy this competition?

Yes, it's a heavy shirt to wear. You're representing England – one of the greatest national teams in the world, so whenever you step on the pitch, you must perform at your best. You have to ensure you make the right decisions and actions, because there's a lot at stake. And I think everyone in the team, even those not named in this squad, understands what it means to represent your country. So yes, there's always healthy competition, and I think this competition is very healthy and beneficial, and it pushes players to show their best selves.
