Ireland must stay calm against England, urges Everton captain Coleman

Coleman emphasized the importance of tapping into the emotional aspect of wearing the green jersey for Ireland, stating that it is a powerful moment for any player. He highlighted the bond formed with his teammates as they gather in a huddle before taking the field.

“You can tap into the emotional side of it all because it is about the historic game and England our rivals coming over. For us lads, we’re representing our country, unbelievably proud to do so as well.

“There are some amazing journeys along the way for those lads, myself included, to get to this level. We can tap into the emotional side, of course, it doesn’t matter if that’s England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, it doesn’t matter because you’re playing for your country.

“Hopefully we can do that in a positive way tomorrow. But we can’t just be gung-ho with emotion, you have to have a smart head as well for sure.”
