Tyrone Mings is confident that the winning mentality of England’s squad can propel the team to clinch their first significant trophy since the World Cup victory in 1966.
Five treble-winning players from Manchester City joined the England squad on Tuesday, contributing their extensive trophy-winning experiences.
“The manager often emphasizes the importance of our club experiences to the team’s collective strength,” said central defender Mings.
“We are a team comprised of consistent winners.”

Manchester City’s Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Kalvin Phillips, John Stones, and Kyle Walker have contributed to their team’s victories in the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup this season.
The previous season also saw Declan Rice claim the Europa Conference League with West Ham. Meanwhile, Manchester United’s Harry Maguire, Marcus Rashford, and Luke Shaw secured the Carabao Cup.
Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson have claimed significant honors, and Kieran Trippier earned a La Liga winners’ medal with Atletico Madrid.
In recent years, Gareth Southgate’s England squad has come close to lifting a trophy, reaching the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and finishing runners-up at Euro 2020, which was delayed due to the pandemic.
“The number of our players involved in European and domestic competitions can only be a boost,” added Mings, Aston Villa defender, as England prepares for Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta on Friday and North Macedonia on Monday.
“There’s no doubt that we have the potential to win a trophy, and it’s not solely based on talent.
“Talent can take you so far, but the experience from recent tournaments, our training regimen, and the consistent performance of the team over the past years collectively point us in the direction of victory.
“I see no reason why we shouldn’t aim for the top. We have a good mix of experienced and young players, some of whom are entering their prime.”
Southgate’s squad welcomed the Manchester City players a bit later than others due to their Champions League final victory against Inter Milan.
Upon the team’s return, Grealish made headlines for his post-victory celebrations.
“It’s incredible. All Grealish needs to do is time it right,” commented Mings.
“Nobody can deny him the chance to let loose after winning the Treble – especially now that he has unleashed those luscious locks. He’s definitely enjoyed the past few days.”

England midfielder Jordan Henderson added: “The City players have been on an intense journey over the past few months, given their multiple trophy wins.
“It’s probably been an emotional rollercoaster for them. It might take them a few days to adjust, but hopefully, they’ll be ready to contribute to our efforts, if not in the first game, then in the second.”
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Henderson also reflected on the challenges of participating in the 2022 World Cup during a season. Still, he mentioned that retirement has never crossed his mind.
“I guess you start to consider that when you’re not playing regularly or significantly impacting the team. That’s probably when you start thinking about what’s best,” said the 32-year-old.
“But I still thoroughly enjoy representing my country. I want to continue doing it for as long as possible and feel that I have a significant role to play both on and off the pitch.”
