English Premier League: DJ Campbell hoping for an English call up
DJ Campbell is hoping for a surprise English national team call up from Fabio Capello after hitting new heights with the English Premier League side, Blackpool. Campbell was signed by Blackpool in the summer transfer window for
only 1 million pounds but he has paid back the trust of Ian Holloway.
Holloway who is Blackpool’s manager led them to the English Premier League last season after they finished 6th in the Championship. Following their sixth place finish in the Championship, Blackpool defeated Cardiff City
in the resulting play-offs to secure their place in the 2010-2011 Premier League season.
Ever since their arrival in the English Premier League, Blackpool have astonished beyond belief, they have already secured crucial home and away wins against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and were on the verge of defeating Manchester United in the
last round of Premier League’s matches.
DJ Campbell has been the main goal scorer for Blackpool up till now as he has serviced by the creative Scotsman, Charlie Adams. DJ Campbell stated in a recently held interview that it was a dream of his to play for the English
national team.

The Blackpool striker is hopeful that he will be called up for the match so that he can showcase his talents at the highest stage of football for his national team.
In his latest interview to the tabloids, the DJ Campbell stated, "I do think of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749. It's a dream of mine. It can be a funny game and I could end up getting a cap. I could be another Les Ferdinand or Ian Wright, who both played
in non-league football too. I've met Cyrille Regis a couple of times as well. He started off in non-league and did it".
He added, "I'd love to think that I'm now proving to kids who have had knock-backs and are playing non-league football that it can be done. People think it can't happen in this day and age, but it can." Campbell also commented
on Blackpool’s season thus far as he ended his interview by saying, "I know we're the underdogs but I'd like to think we're not such massive underdogs anymore”.
Blackpool are now gearing up to play their next league match on 2nd of February, 2011 against West Ham United. The Hammers are battling a relegation war at the moment and Blackpool are sure to face some strict competition
from Avram Grant’s men at the Bloomfield Road stadium.
