The former West Ham midfielder says that England’s spirit and determination can carry them far in the tournament in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 even though they might lack the technical nous that the likes of Spain have at their disposal...
Parker has come out and admitted that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 are but their spirit and heart can carry them a long way in Poland and Ukraine.
England recently won their group by winning their last two group stage matches against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 did well in their own group but finished
second to Spain. Parker has played for England in all their matches at the European Championships so far and he has been immense for the Three Lions.
The Tottenham midfielder has contributed with blocks and tackles in the centre of the park which allowed England to keep a clean sheet in their last match against Ukraine. Not only that, Parker’s fitness levels has been amazing
as well as he has given Hodgson a real return on the confidence that the England manager has shown in the midfielder.
Parker said, "Everyone talks about Spain and how great they are at passing the ball. Not every team is as good as Spain, that's the reality. There are not many teams who have been as good as Spain since I've been alive.”
He added, "To think we are all of a sudden are going to turn into that is not what it's going to be. We are what we are, we're committed, we've got a good base, a good bunch of lads and with that you can go a long way.”
England will count on parker to produce another dynamic performance on the weekend against Italy but they will also want other players to step up to the mark. The Italians have looked threatening in attack thus far at the EUROs
therefore, Hodgson’s main aim will be to shore up England’s defensive problems and hit the Italians on the counter attack.
