Phil Jones<\/a> has remained buoyant.<\/p>\nIn an underwhelming result for the Three Lions despite a decent enough display, Jones shone throughout with a mature and robust display.<\/p>\n
With Daniel Sturridge, after a thunderous volley cannoned off the crossbar, the only other name who escaped with credibility, the game cast a dark cloud over England’s ambitions in Denmark.<\/p>\n
However, Jones took comfort in the second half display that saw England seize the initiative and is adament that England are comfortable with the pressurised nature of the final group game.<\/p>\n
“The lads are disappointed in the changing rooms,” he told Sky Sports<\/em>.<\/p>\n“We knew we didn\u2019t play well in the first half and that we had to respond in the second and I thought we done that. We just weren\u2019t lucky enough to get a goal in the end.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re still in it and we know what we have to do and I\u2019m sure we can produce that.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
“We move on, we get on the training pitch and we work on what we weren\u2019t best at and put that right in the next game.<\/span><\/p>\nWith eyebrows raised over the price of Jones’ recent move to champions Manchester United, the 19-year was certain to be under intense scrutiny.<\/p>\nYet, a dominant display at the heart of the England defence ultimately proved the side’s saviour, with Jones at the heart of the stoic defending, alongside new-team mate Chris Smalling.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
“I\u2019m pleased, just disappointed that we didn\u2019t get the three points. It was a team effort, we\u2019ve come together and we will stick together and we\u2019ll dig in,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n“It\u2019s working really well with Chris Smalling. I like playing with him. We read what each other does and it\u2019s working well.”<\/span><\/p>\nThe result means Sunday’s match with Czech is a must-win for England should they hope to leapfrog their opposition to occupy second place and progression in the tournament, though Jones is adamant that the players are up to the challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n“If you would have said to us before the tournament that we were coming into the last game that would a win would take us through, we would have probably taken that. We\u2019ll go into that game full of confidence,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nSee the rest here:
