The Tottenham manager has come out and made it clear that Scholes needs to play for England at the European Championships in 2012 and that there are a lot of suitable candidates for the English national team captaincy in the
squad at the moment....
Heavily linked to replace http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello as the English national team captain following the Italian tactician’s resignation last week, Harry Redknapp has already distanced himself from the national team job but in his latest interview,
the Englishman has shed some light on some of the decisions that he would make as the Three Lions’ manager.
He paid his respects to Paul Scholes who has returned from retirement this season to help out Manchester United after the veteran playmaker had retired from football last season after United’s defeat to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in the UEFA Champions
League final.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749’s midfield suffering somewhat of
a crisis since their woeful display in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032.
The Tottenham manager said, "Let's be honest, you would love to have http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394 in the Euros this year. He'd be in your team, he's that good. Whoever's there would love to take him, I'm sure. You'd love him to play. He plays
like the Spaniards, like Xavi [Hernandez] or [Andres] Iniesta. He does not give the ball away. You need men in your side; you need characters if you are going to win anything."
He added that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 captain can be an excellent English national
team captain as well if the need arises. It still remains to be seen whether or not Harry will leave the Tottenham job to take up the English national team setup or continue his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 at White Hart Lane and also manage the Three Lions.
