England’s midfielder has come out and admitted that the nation’s current crop of young footballers will be beneficial for the national team as they prepare to do well at the European Championships in 2012...
As England prepare to take on the rest of Europe in the upcoming European Championships, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/James-Milner-c17706 has revealed that the current crop of players in the English Premier League, most the English youngsters can benefit England’s
cause at the European Championships in Poland and Ukraine. England failed to qualify for the 2008 EUROs but their qualification campaign for the European Championships in 2012 has been quite comfortable but they were in turmoil just a few weeks ago as the
Three Lions parted ways with their manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello.
First of all, Harry Redknapp was a favourite to take over the England setup but now Roy Hodgson has been appointed the England national team manager for the next four years. Milner has been central to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749’s squad due to his
versatility but now other players are coming up such as the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Welbeck.
Milner said, "I think there is a lot of a different feel around the squad now than before. I think maybe the squad had a lot of players in it who had been to a lot of major tournaments before and maybe had suffered the expectations
and the disappointments. I think maybe it does wear you down. Now we have that mix of younger players who haven't gone through that time and time again.”
He added, "They haven't gone through the unlucky parts of tournament football you are going to get, the decisions that go against you, like the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 in the World Cup.”
England are definitely the underdogs for the tournament in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 as there are other national team sides in the competition which are admittedly better on paper than the Three Lions. However with a new manager and young
blood in their squad, one can expect England to surprise a few teams in the group stages at least and make it to the quarterfinals of the tournament.
