Ryan Bertrand insists āthe work isnāt finishedā yet for England
Show/hide articleā¦
Ryan Bertrand says there is still plenty of hard work ahead as England look to secure qualification for the World Cup.
The Three Lions have one foot in Russia ahead of their double-header of qualifiers against Slovenia and Lithuania.
They could qualify in the first of those appointments at Wembley on Thursday.
āItās not over, we are very much of a positive mindset. The work isnāt finished and we will try to get the six points,ā Bertrand said. All games internationally are tough. Slovenia will need the points but we need points as well.ā
Bertrand wants to get the job done at Wembley rather than waiting to go to Lithuania.
āFor me personally, with a fanās head on, it would be nice to qualify in front of our fans, but we still have work to do.ā
The behaviour of international sportsmen and women has been brought into the spotlight lately after England cricketer Ben Stokes was arrested.
Asked of the pressures of playing and living in the limelight, Bertrand added: 'It comes with the game. Once you make that pledge to commit, you have to live by it. We are aware of our responsibilities 24/7.
āIt is a way of life. You are not just representing yourself but your club and country and thereās great pressure.ā
England will be boosted by the form of Harry Kane, who has scored 11 goals in his last six games for Tottenham.
Bertrand knows his team-mates will benefit from having such a form player in their side and has backed Kane to get the armband.
āHe is in great form,ā Bertrand added. 'Him coming to the England camp in such fine form is a massive boost for the whole squad.
'(The captiancy) is completely down to the manager. āHā gets my vote, what we are blessed with is we have a lot of leaders in the camp now and whoever is tasked with that duty on the night is deserving of that.
One player not in the frame against Lithuania is Dele Alli, who is serving a one-match ban following a gesture he made in the win over Slovakia last month.
Bertrand reckons there is enough depth to cover the Tottenham midfielderās loss.
āDele is a fantastic player, he would definitely be one on the team sheet that the opposition highlights and wants to lockdown, so that will be a miss,ā he said.
āBut as a nation we are blessed with amazing talent and Iām sure whoever comes in in place of him will do an amazing job.ā

Ryan Bertrand says England boss Gareth Southgateās comments were not meant in a bad sense
Show/hide articleā¦
Ryan Bertrand believes Englandās players will be motivated by Gareth Southgateās recent comments that some of them may not warrant a place in his squad.
After naming his 26-man party for the World Cup qualifying double-header against Slovenia and Lithuania, England boss Southgate bemoaned the fact that a number of key players have been forced to miss out due to injury.
Danny Rose, Adam Lallana, Danny Welbeck and Jamie Vardy are all unavailable, and Southgate said there are one or two players in his squad āwho havenāt necessarily warranted it on their performancesā.
But Bertrand says there has been not been a negative response from the squad to Southgateās remarks, insisting the players will be hungrier than ever to take their opportunity if they get a chance to play.
He said: "I have seen no real reaction. I am not sure what sense it was meant, I am sure it wasnāt meant in a bad sense.
āIt will definitely [motivate the players in the squad]. I think here we have a fantastic competition for places and it can only mean good for the squad. So every chance people will get theyāll be sure to take it.ā
With two matches remaining, England are five points clear at the top Group F ahead of the qualifying double-header but Bertrand insists the team still have plenty of hard work to do and are targeting maximum points from both games.
āItās not over, we are very much of a positive mindset,ā he said. "The work isnāt finished and we will try to get the six points.
āAll games internationally are tough. Slovenia will need the points but we need points as well.ā
Bertrand wants to get the job done at Wembley rather than waiting to go to Lithuania.
āFor me personally, with a fanās head on, it would be nice to qualify in front of our fans, but we still have work to do.ā

Rickie Lambert announced his retirement from playing today, so we got the thoughts of some fellow Saints legends on his legacyā¦
KELVIN DAVIS
āThe moment he came into the club, you knew the quality of the man and the quality of the person.
"What came next was nothing short of miraculous ā what he achieved for us, what we achieved together. There are some real lasting memories.
āHe was the style of player that could play in most teams and score goals at any level. The main memories for me were his first goal, against Northampton on his debut, when he introduced himself, and then his goal at Manchester City on our return to the Premier League.ā
MATT LE TISSIER
āIt was an incredible achievement from where he started his career, to make such a huge impact and be such an influence in getting Southampton back from League One to the Premier League, and then flourishing in the Premier League as well. I think Southampton Football Club have a huge debt of gratitude to Rickie Lambert for the part he played in that resurgence of the club.
āHeās a top bloke. The fact he was so popular among his teammates tells you what kind of bloke he is. Not just that, but the way he was with the fans. Heās an incredibly humble person and never forgot where he came from, and was incredibly grateful for Southampton giving him the chance to go and play in the Premier League. It was a match made in heaven really.ā

Kane backed to be permanent England captain
Show/hide articleā¦
Ryan Bertrand is backing Tottenham star Harry Kaneās credentials to be Englandās next permanent captain.
Kane led England for games against France and Scotland while Jordan Henderson wore the armband in wins over Slovakia and Malta.
The Tottenham striker is one of Englandās most important players after scoring 13 goals this season and is likely to be a crucial part of the squad for next summerās World Cup in Russia, which England need only two more points to qualify for.
Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate has yet to decide on a permanent replacement for the now-retired Wayne Rooney and has handed several players the armband during World Cup qualifiers.
Though Bertrand accepted it would be down to Southgate to select from āa lot of leadersā he offered his support to Kane, who has not been shy in putting himself forward for the captaincy.
āHe is in great form,ā he said. āHim coming to the England camp in such fine form is a massive boost for the whole squad.
ā(The captaincy) is completely down to the manager. āHā gets my vote, what we are blessed with is we have a lot of leaders in the camp now and whoever is tasked with that duty on the night is deserving of that.ā
Kane will be without Tottenham team-mate Dele Alli for Englandās penultimate World Cup qualifier at home to Slovenia on Thursday.
Alli is serving a one-match ban following an obscene gesture he made in the win over Slovakia last month, but Bertrand believes England can survive the absence of their number 10.
āDele is a fantastic player, he would definitely be one on the team sheet that the opposition highlights and wants to lockdown, so that will be a miss," he said.
āBut as a nation we are blessed with amazing talent and Iām sure whoever comes in in place of him will do an amazing job.ā

Ryan Bertrand: Harry Kane should succeed Wayne Rooney as captain
Show/hide articleā¦
Ryan Bertrand has backed Harry Kane to succeed Wayne Rooney as the next permanent England captain.
Kane was given the armband for Englandās games against France and Scotland earlier this year but Liverpoolās Jordan Henderson was captain for the recent victories over Slovakia and Malta.
Manager Gareth Southgate is yet to appoint a permanent successor to Rooney but he is expected to make a decision before next summerās World Cup in Russia.
ā[The captiancy] is completely down to the manager. āHā [Harry Kane] gets my vote,ā Bertrand said. "He is in great form. Him coming to the England camp in such fine form is a massive boost for the whole squad.
āWhat we are blessed with is we have a lot of leaders in the camp now and whoever is tasked with that duty on the night is deserving of that.ā
England look to secure qualification for the World Cup in Russia this month as they face a double-header against Slovenia and Lithuania, and could seal their spot at Wembley on Thursday.
āItās not over, we are very much of a positive mindset. The work isnāt finished and we will try to get the six points,ā Bertrand said. āAll games internationally are tough. Slovenia will need the points but we need points as well.ā

āFor me personally, with a fanās head on, it would be nice to qualify in front of our fans, but we still have work to do,ā he said.

Ryan Bertrand feels Gareth Southgateās suggestion that some players were lucky to be selected for the current England squad may well act as a motivator.
Three Lions boss Southgate said last week, as his squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Lithuania was announced, that āyou could well argue there are one or two in the squad who havenāt necessarily warranted it on their performancesā.
Asked on Monday how the squad had reacted to that remark, defender Bertrand said: "Iāve seen no real reaction.
āIām not sure in which sense he meant that. Iām sure it wasnāt a bad sense. The boys have come in and got on as normal.ā
But when then asked if it could help motivate, he said: "Definitely.
āI think here we have fantastic competition for places, which is only good for the squad. Every chance we get, weāll be sure to take it.ā
England host Slovenia on Thursday before playing Lithuania away three days later in their two remaining Group F games.
Southgateās men are on the brink of securing qualification, with them currently lying five points clear at the top of the pool.
Englandās last tournament outing saw them make an embarrassing exit from Euro 2016 - which they had gone into having had a 100 per cent record in qualifying - in the last-16 as they were beaten 2-1 by Iceland.
Asked how confident he was that England will make a positive impact next summer in Russia, Bertrand said: "Iām very confident.
āWeāve had a few learning curves in this qualifying campaign - it hasnāt been plain sailing, as it probably was in previous years - and as a team weāve come through them and weāre getting stronger and stronger, on and off the field.ā
He added regarding qualification: ''Itās not over. The work isnāt finished. We want to get six points.
āIt would be nice to complete the qualification in front of our fans at Wembley.ā
Bertrand scored his first England goal in the last international break, netting late on in the 4-0 away win over Malta.
The 28-year-old Southampton full-back barely celebrated when the shot went in, but he has stressed how much it meant to him.
āIt was amazing,ā he said with a smile.
"It didnāt quite come across that way on the night, but I was more tuned into the teamās objectives, rather than personal ones.
āBut I can assure you when I got home with my family there was a great realisation over what had just happened, and I was very grateful for that moment.ā

Grenfell Tower disaster had strong effect on Englandās Bertrand
Show/hide articleā¦
BURTON-ON-TRENT ā England defender Ryan Bertrand has revealed that the Grenfell Tower disaster had a profound effect on him and says he is working to change the lives of the victims.
At least 80 people died in June when a fire engulfed Grenfell ā a high-rise towerblock in north Kensington, London ā similar to the one where Bertrand grew-up in neighbouring borough Southwark. The 28-year-old Southampton left-back still has family living in London towerblocks, all of which are under scrutiny following the fire, and he visited Grenfell with friends on June 16, two days after the tragedy.
āThe worldās a bit crazy at the moment. Over the last few years, there have been catastrophes everywhere, but that was on our doorstep, nearbyā¦ I just wanted to do something more,ā the Southampton left-back said.
"I had friends who grew up in similar circumstances, so it hit me. I had a few friends from the estate, so we wanted to see what we could do. I went down to the estate to ask questions, see how things were going, get a feel for it and see what I could do to make a difference. Weāre in the process of seeing if we can do a few things, and I donāt want to say too much. But things are on-going.
"They [my friends] are fine, but when you hear the storiesā¦ itās mad, crazy.
"I grew-up in south-east London, Southwark, so not right there but I spent a good few years in south-west London and Iām familiar with the territory. Most families ā my Nan, my aunties still live in tower blocks. They love it ā itās home to them.
āIt struck a nerve. Growing up in similar tower blocks when I was a kid, albeit in different areas of London, it was somewhere close by.ā Bertrand is thought to be involved in the rehousing of Grenfell residents, some of whom are still fighting to remain in the same area, and the England international is hoping to use his profile to make a difference. Asked if he wanted to give his time, rather than simply donate money, Bertrand said: "Yes, yes, that was the main idea. To do more. This came up and resonated with me. I thought I could do more.
"Iām in a half decent position so maybe I could do more than just donate. Donating is great ā Iām not saying thatās a bad thing ā but I took a bit of time and went down there hoping to try and change something, even if it was one familyās lives. It can be life changing.
āIām not saying, āIām Ryan Bertrand flying in to see what I could doā. Iām not the biggest footballer in the world. But I have some sort of status so I just wanted to see what I could do to help.ā
The government and local council have been fiercely criticised for their response to the disaster, particularly the lack of infrastructure to support victims in the immediate aftermath. And Bertrand added: āIt was a bit out of control. There was no main structure when I was down there. That was blocking things. No-one knew who to go to, who was dealing with this or that. I havenāt been back since, no.ā Bertrand is expected to win his 17th England cap in Thursdayās World Cup qualifier against Slovenia at Wembley, where a win would guarantee the Three Lions a spot in next summerās tournament in Russia.

Ryan Bertrand has followed through with his pledge to help the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire, with the England left-back not content to just hand over money.
Southampton and England defender Bertrand visited Grenfell in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy and posted a series of tweets promising to help.
Up to 80 people died as a result of the fire and 28-year-old Bertrand revealed he knew people who survived the incident.
Asked if he has been able to offer any assistance, Bertrand replied: āBasically, when I saw that, the worldās a bit crazy at the moment. Over the last few years, there have been catastrophes everywhere. But that was on our doorstep. Nearby.
āI just wanted to do something more. I had friends who grew up in similar circumstances, so it hit me. I had a few friends from the estate, so we wanted to see what we could do.

Ryan Bertrand has followed through on his pledge to help those affected by the Grenfell Tower disaster.
Speaking on Monday, the England defender ā who is set to start against Slovenia on Thursday night ā insisted his involvement goes beyond financial donations as he looks to get involved in re-housing residents affected by the fire.
Bertrand is particularly focused on ensuring residents are re-housed as close to the Grenfell site as possible.
The Southampton left back visited the site in London in June and, asked if he had followed up on that initial visit, Bertrand said: 'Weāre in the process of seeing if we can do a few things, and I donāt want to say too much, but things are ongoing.
'Over the last few years there have been catastrophes everywhere. But that was on our doorstep. Nearby.
'It resonated with me, so I just wanted to do something more. I had friends who grew up in similar circumstances, so it hit me.

'My Nan, my aunties, they still live in tower blocks and love it. Itās home to them.
