Tottenham defender Danny Rose conceded that it has been difficult to spend time around Liverpool players during England's Nations League campaign.
Rose, whose future at Spurs remains uncertain, was one of six recalled for Sunday's third-place play-off against Switzerland, which England won on penalties.
While he did not feel physically tired at the culmination of a difficult week, Rose admits that being surrounded by players who had triumphed over him and his team-mates was a bitter pill to swallow.
'It's not draining coming to play for your country,' he said.
'It is a bit draining having lost last weekend and having to share the camp with Liverpool players. You are reminded every day that you lost the final and that was a unique experience for me.
'I have never been through that myself. I was definitely tired from a long season with my club and having to come to England didn't help. But as I said, whenever you're selected for England it is a great occasion. It is one I will always welcome and cherish.'
Asked how Liverpool players Jordan Henderson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez had been with their Tottenham counterparts in the squad, Rose added: 'They've been great.
'We have a great squad here. I have known Jordan for 10 years now. He has been fine, we have spoken about the game.
'Our congratulations go to them. I couldn't have asked for either of them to have been much better than they have.'

I think Rose wants to create news for himself because that was not the first defeat you took as team from Liverpool. Liverpool beat you back to back in the Premier League and also did the same in UCL final showing their supremacy over you as team in the just ended season. Moreover, Liverpool performed extremely well than you as a team. Now my question to Rose is, did you expect to beat Liverpool in the UCL final?
he didn't mean that.. it can be difficult to play final and then with the same guys in national team.. he is also human.. he did not expect anything.. they had the same chances of winning the final as much as Liverpool.. Liverpool defeated barca didn't they when everyone wrote them off.. so please don't just blabber and sham someone just because they are professional... they are also human and they are entitled to some depression and jealousy...

From what i observed, rose has always been mentally weak, i feel he is an emotional guy, he whines about everything while not knowing there are many many unfortunate people or event happened in this world. He should be professional and be influential to the less fortunate people like what sterling did, instead of being bitter, sad, emotional
