England caretaker manager Lee Carsley responded to media questions about arranging Jude Bellingham as a false nine instead of using another natural striker.

Carsley said that he didn’t think he had a great idea to crack any system. He just wanted to try something new and was happy to accept criticism because it was his idea. He thought about it for a long time about how it would come out. What the game would be like. It’s true that it might not work out so well. But he thought that the opportunity to try something new shouldn’t be closed.
Carsley continued: “We tried to try something different, tried to use the midfield area, and in training the day before we tried this formation for 20 minutes. When we tried it for real we were disappointed with the results. Of course we shouldn’t expect too much. We should try it again because this is one of the options in the attacking game.
Regarding the rumours that he may take over as long-term manager from Gareth Southgate. After leading the team to victory in the first two matches. Carsley said that he was surprised since entering the last camp that the media talked about him getting the สมัคร ufabet job or being the favorite to be the new manager. Because he was clear from the beginning that he would come in to manage the team for three camps. After this, there are three more matches left and he hopes to return to manage the England U-21 team as usual.
