Berkat Bielsa nih

Marcelo Bielsa created the England advantage.

Totally set up by Kalvin Phillips, pace, idea and conversion.

One of those fast situation Bielsa has shown the world.

Kata Phillips

Tentunya Phillips sendiri mengaku puas dengan performanya. Dia terbukti sangat nyetel bermain dengan Declan Rice, saling melengkapi dan mengisi kekurangan satu sama lain.

"Ada banyak ucapan soal saya dan Declan Rice yang berebut satu posisi, tapi ketika kami bermain bersama, saya rasa kami bermain sangat baik," ujar Phillips.

"Rasanya luar biasa bisa memberi assist dan bisa mendapatkan tiga poin," tutupnya.
