What the coaches say
2020/21 Nations League: new format explainedErik Hamrén, Iceland coach: "I'm looking forward to starting playing games again. It has been a long time without games and it has been empty. I would have loved to have our great supporters here, especially when England is finally coming to Iceland. It's sad that there are no supporters but there are many strange things going on and there are difficult times for many in the world. We cannot complain too much. People are facing more difficult things in the world."Gareth Southgate, England manager: "You are always questioning with those young players when is the right time to move them up, we felt now is a good time. We are a year away from a European Championship and let's see if they can start to break into that team, that squad. It gives us great competition for places, they are realistic challengers."Next upDenmark vs England – 8 SeptemberBelgium v Iceland – 8 SeptemberSource: uefa.com
