“You very rarely play an international match against opponents and they haven’t got their hands on their hearts and singing their anthem as loud as they can, and we’ve made a decision that that’s what we’re going to do, too because we are proud, we are happy to be wearing that England shirt,” he is reported as saying by the Associated Press.
“We have been doing it for two years. We are proud to be England players, and in my case, England manager, so when the national anthem comes up it’s an obvious one for me that we sing it.”
England play Italy in their first match in Group D on June 14 in Manaus.
