Manchester City’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/James-Milner-c17706 believes that the youngsters in the national side can give the team something extra in the upcoming Euro 2012.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749’s new manager, Roy Hodgson went on to name a squad that has a mixture of experienced players and a number of new young faces.
Despite some believing that Hodgson’s decision might cause the team problems in the future, Milner feels the other way round and thinks that the youngsters could add the spark to the team which could help them move forward.
When talking about the team and how it feels a little different this time around, the City midfielder is reported to have said: "There is a different feel around the squad than before"
"The squad in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757 [for the 2012 World Cup] had a lot of players who had been to a lot of major tournaments and had the expectations and the disappointments.
"This time, we have a good mix of experienced players but also the younger players who haven’t been to a major tournament.”
"The mix of youth and experience will help us do well."
The team now has the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has become a fan favourite in his first season
at the club, seems to be the critics favourite as the player who would impress in the tournament.
Milner then went on to admit that perhaps the youngsters would do well, mainly because of the fact that they haven’t had their heart broken on the international stage in the past.
For this very reason, they could be the reason for the team to do well.
"They are going into it fresh and don’t have those negative thoughts or memories in their heads."
It is hard not to agree with Milner and with all the critics admitting that England need a source of inspiration, perhaps that could turn out to be the young players in the squad, as opposed to the senior players.
Nonetheless, it is now up to the team to prove their worth, as everyone playing for the team will be looking to win the tournament.
