Roy Hodg­son

Eng­land man­ager Roy Hodg­son was full of praise for his play­ers after the mid­week game against Italy at The St­ade de Suisse Wank­dorf in the city of Berne. The Three Lions came from be­hind to even­tu­ally de­feat Cesare Prandelli´s Italy side by 2–1 cour­tesy of goals from Phil Ja­gielka and second half sub­sti­tute Jer­main De­foe respectively.

The Eng­land man­ager was also im­pressed with Manchester United mid­field player Tom Clev­er­ley who made his in­ter­na­tional senior de­but on Wed­nes­day. Roy Hodg­son: “We know Tom Clev­er­ley is a good player and an im­port­ant player for Manchester United, who was un­lucky to get in­jured early last sea­son. I have been pleased to see Tom Clev­er­ley in the form he has been show­ing this sea­son for Team Great Bri­tain in the 2012 Lon­don Sum­mer Olympics and it was ter­rific for him to play for the Eng­land first team.”
