Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joe-Hart-c18699 could prove to be the difference in the upcoming Euro 2012.
Over the course of the last two seasons, Joe Hart has gone on to establish himself as the first choice keeper for the national team.
The Manchester City shot stopper has been in exceptional form and even went on to win the Premier League with his team, in the 2011-2012 season.
Throughout the season, the keeper went on to produce some brilliant displays, while helping his team edge over the finish line.
Neville feels that the abilities and qualities that Hart possesses, could prove to be the difference in the upcoming tournament, since he is possibly one of the best keepers that the country has ever had.
He also feels that having Hart in the team would give the them a much needed boost in a penalty shootout situation, which has almost always caused the team problems.
Neville is quoted to have said: “I have been explaining this to some of the lads over the last few days - I went to five tournaments and in four of them we went out on penalties”
“I’m not being disrespectful to the goalkeepers who I played with, but we have a great goalkeeper now and that may be the difference.”
Neville then admitted that the team couldn’t blame their failures of past on unsuccessful spot kicks, since in the end, they just weren’t good enough to win in the past.
“That’s not been the real reason. At the ’98 World Cup, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 were better than us," he added.
“I have analysed it. If you want it in one sentence, we haven’t been good enough.”
England will now have the advantage of using the expertise of Gary Neville, who seems to be a future England manager in the making.
Nonetheless, the team will have to give it their all in the upcoming Euro 2012 and hope for the best, as they look to put an end to their troublesome international history.
