In an exclusive interview with talksport, Manchester City defender Stones insisted that the team did not want to set up a bus in the previous 1-1 draw with Arsenal.
"We don't have a plan to set up a bus. You will encounter different situations during the game, feel pressure, or have a feeling that you have to do this. The players took the initiative to take this approach, which is why this incident caused such a big reaction and discussion, but this is not what we planned, nor is it the style of our team. We don't want to do this."
"I believe that shrinking to the edge of the penalty area is not the way to win. I have a deep understanding of this and know that this opponent is How frustrating it is, and how difficult it is to bear this pressure for a long time. But this is the result of a series of factors, and it is by no means our tactical arrangement. It is more of a decision based on the feeling of the game, and it is difficult for me to explain the specific reasons. Looking back now, it is indeed very unsuitable for us. Although we finally achieved a good result, next time we must stick to our own style of play."
Speaking of the selection of the English roster in this issue, Stones said: "It is difficult for me to say, after all, I I haven't watched too many games, but I know how good Foden is. Gralish scored in the past weekend, and Bellingham also returned from injury. Obviously, all three of them are very capable. I have always understood the coaches who need to choose a lineup and start. These decisions are always highly concerned in the football world, and they have to make a choice. "
"I know that those players who failed to be selected will feel frustrated and sad because they all want to come to the game, and the players who can come to the national team are well deserved. Individuals are qualified here, and this is the difficult place. However, players who are not selected will also regard this loss as motivation and motivation to strive to enter the next roster. They are all very good professional players, which also shows the depth of England's current lineup. All the players performed very well, which brought difficulties to the head coach's selection. But I have not seen his press conference, and he has to make a decision to make the best choice for the team. I really hope everyone will be selected, but this is obviously impossible. "
