'We made a difference to so many people'published at 19:19 British Summer Time 24 September 2018
England manager Gareth Southgate said: "It is a fantastic honour to manage your country. It was an incredible honour to play, and managing was special too. We had a great summer and it was so nice that we made a difference to so many people."
On the tournament: "Your first thought was to get the team through a knockout because we hadn’t won one for 10 years, and we knew if it came to it, we had to win on penalties. The great legacy for these players is that they have won a shootout, and that is positive moving forward."
On the impact in the country: "I hadn’t really felt it until a couple of weeks ago, I went off on holiday after the tournament, but being in London recently showed the power of sport."
