England assistant manager reveals half-time team talk to squad after Ghana spring tactical surprise

England’s assistant manager delivered a message to the squad after a “frustrating” first half against Ghana on Tuesday (23 June).

Speaking to the press during half-time at Boston Stadium, Anthony Barry said that Ghana was defending deeper than expected, and that the Three Lions are finding it tough to break down Carlos Queiroz’s squad.

“ So the headline for us is probably patience,” he told the BBC, saying that the team needs to come back and attack with a stable base.

”Ghana are a team that have exceptional counter attack options and we've negated that so far.”
