​England have got the chance to win tournament says ex-Chelsea assistant Holland

England assistant coach Steve Holland says that the current Three Lions squad has the potential of winning major honours in the coming years.

However, he admits that the Three Lions squad still needs more work before they can reach their maximum potential.

He said: "We are where we are. After the summer, that's not a particularly high point - but the potential of the group we would all have the same opinion.

"You look at the players in the Premier League who play for their respective clubs, and you have high respect for more or less every player in the squad, certainly competing in the Premier League, which is what we all know.

"So what is it that we are going to do about that? This weekend was a part of that, the lads haven't just been running up hills all weekend, there's been a mental aspect, a huge mental aspect to the weekend, working with an organisation like the Royal Marines.

"Come on, what is pressure, how do we recognize it, what is it that we do about it?

"So potential, yes, but there is also some work to be done clearly to get this group to where their maximum potential is. If we can hit that then this team has a chance to win. In my opinion, I have no doubt, this team has a chance to win."
