The former West Bromwich Albion manager has praised the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 captain for his fighting qualities and tipped him to be at the front of England’s defensive duties in the 2012 European Championships...
Roy Hodgson has praised John Terry’s defensive abilities and as well as his leadership qualities ahead of England’s opening match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 are being touted up
as the underdogs of the tournament due to their injury troubles along with their woeful record in international tournaments of always firing below their fans’ expectation lines.
Nonetheless, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello’s departure earlier on in the year. Hodgson opted to select Terry over
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gary-Cahill-c14439 was ruled out of the 2012 EUROs.
There is a tension between Terry and Ferdinand as the Chelsea captain was accused earlier on in the season of racially abusing Rio’s brother Antoine Ferdinand in an English Premier League match. He was thus as a consequence removed
from his role as the English national team captain by the Football Association as well.
Hodgson said, “We all know John's qualities, we all know what a good centre-half he is and what a warrior he is. We also know he is capable of taking other players with him, not least of all his team-mate http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ashley-Cole-c6809, with whom
he is used to playing.”
He added, "I'm just hoping John will show all the qualities I have seen from him over many years with England. I'm convinced he is determined to do that. He feels this is a great opportunity to show the very best of what he can
do."
John Terry will undoubtedly start against France for the England national team if he is at full fitness and his performance will be crucial to the result that England achieve as it was his lack of pace that led to troubles at the
back for England in their round of 16 knockout tie defeat to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757.
