Danny Rose on Gareth Southgate: ‘He has this nice guy persona… but he is ruthless at the same time’
England defender Danny Rose has acknowledged that Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate has a ‘nice guy persona’ – but insists he is ‘ruthless’ when he needs to be.The Tottenham defender says a prime example of that approach was when Southgate left Manchester United’s Luke Shaw out of his squad for the upcoming Nations League finals.2

Danny Rose, right, says England boss Gareth Southgate has a ‘ruthless’ side to him

Speaking exclusively to talkSPORT, he said: He has this nice guy persona and dont get me wrong that is true, and I cant speak highly enough of him.“But he is ruthless at the same time. You may have seen that by leaving Luke Shaw out of the recent [Nations League] squad.“Hes said that me and Ben [Chilwell] have both been playing really well and deserved the call-up and I agree with him.2

Rose cited an example being Southgate left Luke Shaw out of his England squad for the Nations League finals

Lukes had a great season too though and I hope it continues to go well for him, as thats only going to push me and Ben to do the same.“Ultimately its going to be great for the country if the three of us are pushing each other every step of the way.”Rose, who admitted in the interview that he was left embarrassed and angry after a unnamed club asked toknow if he was crazy, revealed that Southgate’s No 2 Steve Holland is the more ‘vocal’ out of the pair on the training ground. He added: Steve Holland is probably more vocal in terms of if youre not doing something right – hell pull you up straight away.The gaffer sees everything. He’s very meticulous. Hell pull you to one side if he doesnt like what hes seeing and hell tell you what he expects from you.”
