The tactician claims that the winger is the undoubted choice to start as captain, as he possesses all the right credentials.
As Manchester United’s main man for the past two decades, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985 has gone to strengthen his case as one of football’s all-time greats. A peter pan of the sport, the Welshman has ripped apart defences since 1992 and continues to defy belief and age.
With a wand of a left and his mesmerizing ability to drift past his man, the attacker has won more trophies than anyone at Old Trafford and is still going strong despite nearing the age of 40.
One wouldn’t believe his abilities until witnessed firsthand and that was the case for Great Britain boss Stuart Pearce.
Pearce was put in charge of selecting a team that could rival the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 in the Olympics and when the time came to naming his over-age players, Giggs was someone who immediately came to mind.
Due to his experience and calm demeanour on the pitch, he was an undoubted choice to be named captain and the coach has gone on to pile praise on the midfielder, who looks set to take part in his first major International tournament.
"He has all the credentials and he's been absolutely fantastic. We've been out in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 for five or six days, he has the full respect of his team-mates and his form last season was very good for Manchester United,” he said.
"To know how the players are feeling is very important,” the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 trainer was quoted as saying.
Great Britain have one of the most talented squads in the tournament and them going to lift the gold in London does not seem that farfetched from reality.
However their group is quite tough and contains the UAE, Senegal and of course hot favourites Brazil. But with Pearce opting for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Craig-Bellamy-c9471 alongside Giggs as the over-age stars, there is no shortage of quality for the home team either.
The games should be an exciting affair for everyone involved, but for the Welsh Wizard it’s time to make his debut and exit on the International stage in one go.
