Joe Hart has 'failed' at England so far
Goalkeeper Joe Hart says he has "failed" his England career up until now.
Goalkeeper Joe Hart says he has "failed" his England career up until now.
Hart was speaking to 'The Offside Rule' podcast, reflecting on his international career to date and he said: "It was something I didn't need to dream about - because I didn't think it was possible.
"The next thing after that is to do something with your England career and make it matter. I have failed up until now so I need to change that."
The 30-year-old, who has 73 England caps to his name, is one of the four goalkeepers in Gareth Southgate's squad for the final two World Cup Qualifiers against Slovenia and Lithuania later this week, alongside Jack Butland, Jordan Pickford and Fraser Forster.
Hart added: "I want to amass as many caps as I can, I want to be the goalkeeper who plays for England, but I would swap all of that for a trophy or playing an important role in a good summer for the nation. That's my only intention when I play for England."
The England stopper is on loan at West Ham from Manchester City and says his parent club were asking too much money for him.
"I would have loved to have signed somewhere permanent: I want to be set, I want to have goals and be driven.
"But there was too much money put on my head and people weren't willing to pay it so another loan came about.
"I was very grateful when West Ham gave me the opportunity, so it's another case of getting my head down and working hard and fighting for the cause."
