The former West Bromwich Albion manager is adamant on guiding England to something historic at the European Championships as they prepare to take on Ukraine as he has made it clear his main aim is to reinstall the capability
to dream in the English national team supporters...
Roy Hodgson has come out and clarified that he wants to give England fans something to celebrate and dream about in the European Championships in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983 and Ukraine. England have done well so far in the above mentioned competition
as they drew their first match of the group stages against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032.
The co-hosts need to win against England to keep themselves alive in the European Championships thus it will make for an explosive mix when both the teams take on the field on Tuesday evening. There is debate inside the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749
camp as to whether or not Hodgson should start with Rooney but the English manager has already revealed that he cannot afford to leave out a talent such as the Manchester United forward.
England have never won the European Championships and their best display in the competition came in 1996 when they reached the semi-finals only to be knocked out by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 on penalties. Since then England have only managed to
reach the quarterfinals and the Three Lions had even failed to qualify for the previous European Championships in 2008.
Hodgson said, “We believe in ourselves and we want to do well. In some ways it’s rather nice that people back home are hoping and even believing we can do well and we’re giving them something to dream about and cling on to.”
He added, “We’ll be ready for the game, the players will be 100 per cent concentrated. I have made it clear to the players that nothing other than that will be good enough. There will be no questioning their desire to win the game.
But unfortunately that doesn’t always give you the victory you want. The Ukrainians will be fired up for the game as well.”
