England boss Roy Hodgson is confident he can handle the expectations of the nation going into the World Cup.
Hodgson has almost four decades' worth of coaching experience, but he will come under pressure like never before in this World Cup. The 66-year-old is confident he has a good enough support network around him to cope though.
"What helps me deal with (the pressure) is the players," he said.
"I enjoy working with the players - they are the ones who really excite me.
"What keeps me going and keeps me calm is watching training sessions and seeing players perform, feeling we have got good players in England now who could be very exciting in this tournament and going forward.
"That's what gives me the calmness because I don't feel there is any need to be concerned about them."
