Intro:

England midfielders James Milner and Adam Lallana addressed the media on Tuesday ahead of their Euro qualifier against San Marino.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) James Milner, England midfielder

"It's nice to get back into the games but obviously you don't forget about the World Cup, it's always there and you try and learn from the mistakes that were made, try and move forward as a team. It's important you don't just forget about it, which we haven't, and try to work forward. The first games were never going to be easy coming off the back of that but we had a couple of good results. It's time to build on that and hopefully going forward qualify for the Euros."

SOUNDBITE: (English) James Milner, England midfielder (on playing San Marino)

"You can't let your standards drop and everyone knows we should win the game, and we should, that's not being disrespectful. But when teams come and sit behind the ball it's never easy, it is down to us to perform and break them down. I think the biggest thing is that we don't drop our standards from the last game and move forward. Even though it's a lesser opposition we want to keep improving and play better if we can. You can only beat what is in front of you."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Adam Lallana, England midfielder (on San Marino and Estonia)

"We've got to remain focused on ourselves and I think that's vital, putting in a good performance. If we achieve that then hopefully we will get a convincing win. It is a target to get six points. Estonia is a difficult place to go but we are expected to win."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Adam Lallana, England midfielder (on Nathaniel Clyne)

"Clyney, I've played with him for a couple of years at Southampton and he's improved a lot over the two years. He thoroughly deserves his call up. He's started the season really well and scored a couple of good goals, he scored at Anfield in the first game. He's a top drawer player and I'm really excited and happy for him that he's here."
