Roy Hodgson awarded Liverpool skipper, Steven Gerrard, the England armband for the 2012 European Championships and another footballing legend believes that it was the right move.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan, Davids moved on the Barclays Premier League where he played for Tottenham.
It was during this time that he came face to face with Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard and became an admirer of the dynamic midfielder. Davids ended his career at Crystal Palace where he retired in 2010, but now finds himself with wisdom of a number of leagues. He was also capped 74 times for this national team and made a number of appearances in the World Cup and the European Championships.
With the Euros fast approaching, Davids believes that newly appointed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196 but that he could also fix the long running issue of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard not being able to play together.
Davids said, "I think Gerrard is amazing and can do a great http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684. I think you have to play to his strengths and build the whole team around him.”
He pointed out the England and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 skippers’ ability to win matches on his own. He said, "Gerrard is passionate and he leads from the front. At times he has lifted Liverpool to great wins almost single-handedly.”
As for the Gerrard-Lampard dilemma, Davids added, "People say he can't play with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Frank-Lampard-c14097 but that's nonsense. Great players will always be able to play with other great players.” Before adding that "It's up to Hodgson to fix it."
It will be interesting to see how Roy Hodgson sets up his team and whether he will play a five-man midfield with one striker up top or whether he will opt for the more conventional four-four-two set up instead.
A large section of fans did not approve of Hodgson’s appointment who now has the difficult task of winning them over.
