Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier says Southgate speech was turning point for England ahead of Nations League triumph
Eric Dier says Gareth Southgates post-World Cup rallying cry has worked wonders for England.The Three Lions beat Croatia 2-1 in their final Nations League group game to seal a place in next year’s semi-final, pipping Spain to top spot in the process.2

England manager Gareth Southgate has overseen the national side’s progress to the semi-final

It keeps alive Englands hopes of lifting major silverware for the first time since the World Cup triumph in 1966 when they face Switzerland, the Netherlands or Portugal next June.And Tottenham midfielder Dier, who played in Nations League victories over Croatia and Spain, has credited manager Southgate for Englands consistent form following their World Cup semi-final exit at the hands of the Croats in the summer.The next camp was quite quickly after the World Cup and the manager made it clear we could go in two different directions, Dier explained.He said we could settle for what we had done at the World Cup or continue to build something special – we have taken that route.2

Eric Dier has been a permanent fixture in England’s midfield since the World Cup

Hopefully we can continue to do that and everyone is on board with doing that. We want to continue to get better and we believe we can still get a lot better as well.That atmosphere [on Sunday] was the best I have had playing for the national team at Wembley by far and I think to be honest, after the World Cup that is the kind of atmosphere we deserve here and we got that and hopefully it can continue to be like that.It was a fantastic feeling at the end of the game between us and the fans and hopefully we can continue to play football that the fans come to watch and get them off their seats.It works both ways – we need to give and they need to give and hopefully we can continue to build a special relationship.
