I've experienced it a few times at club level, when a manager goes. It doesn't become any easier, but it's part and parcel.
If you had a global calendar, then you would have less games; you create more intrigue, create supply and demand with regards to the sport, and that will heighten the intrigue with regards to the Lions. Create more mystique not only at international level but at club level as well.
We have to improve at club level - and at the international level, there is a lot of room for improvement.
Being able to play at club level at a high level and then getting called into the national team, it's amazing.
I've always been willing to get on the ball when I play for England. I've never hidden, but I'm more relaxed; my decision making is better because I'm calmer. Technically, it's a different level in Spain, and I've had to bring myself up to that at club level.
It is not always easy for a young player to come through at the club level, because all the clubs are able to buy for 20 million or 30 million and it is hard for young English talent to come through and to get recognition and be able to be part of the squad or start playing.
I started racing at club level, then the Scottish championship, then the British championship, then the European, then the Worlds. I went through all the various ranks. I spent a good ten years doing karting.
If you play well at club level, then, you deserve an invitation for the national team. That's the way it goes.
