The former England right back has made it clear that F.A have learned from their experienced in the past and this time around will discourage families of footballers in the English national team squad to travel to Poland and
Ukraine as the England training camp becomes a hot site for photographers and unwanted media attention...

and become a distraction in both mental and media terms to the players as they did so in the FIFA 2006 World Cup in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Japan-c2928 as well.
English players have a history of gaining unwanted media attention which then interferes in the Three Lions preparations for matches in the tournament itself and thus reflects in the performances ultimately.
Moreover the unwanted media focus also brings with it extended criticism which affects the players negatively. Neville who experienced such developments first hand during his time with the national team in 2000s is this time around
a part of the England setup as a coach.
Neville was brought into the England camp by Roy Hodgson on a four year deal as he will stick with the Three Lions till the next FIFA World Cup in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 2014. Neville elaborated, "That won't happen again. The FA learned from the
experience in 2006. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 team did. The England players did. That wasn't ideal for anybody.”
He added, "It was symptomatic of the times. Between 2002 and 2007 everyone got carried away with everything in life. It is a different world now and those mistakes won't happen again under any manager or any regime. The platform
won't be given. We are managing it this time in a completely different way. We are here to play football. We are here to work."
Such an approach will be beneficial for the England squad which will get to focus on the tactics and preparations for their matches rather than shopping trips with their girlfriends and their wives, as ultimately such extracurricular
activities harm the team spirit which is essential for success in football.
