Roy Hodgson Pleased With Players

Roy Hodg­son

New Three Lions man­ager Roy Hodg­son was full of praise for his play­ers after watch­ing his side defeat Nor­way in an inter­na­tional friendly match in Oslo on Sat­urday. Eng­land man­aged to edge out the Nor­we­gi­ans by 1–0 cour­tesy of a strike from Manchester United flank­man Ash­ley Young in the ninth minute of the friendly encounter.

Roy Hodg­son was impressed by the per­form­ance of his side at the Ull­evaal Sta­dium in Oslo. Roy Hodg­son: “It was a mar­vel­lous start to my career as Eng­land man­ager because I know how hard it is to win in Nor­way. It is a long time since the Nor­we­gi­ans have lost at home and it is a great start for us. I am also aware it is a work in pro­gress. After only three days with the team, we have come here and given a more than reas­on­able per­form­ance at a place where every­one has told me it is very dif­fi­cult to get a result.”
