England players will practice disappointed
faces in training, reveals Hodgson
rio de janeiro, brazil
England manager Roy Hodgson has
revealed that his 23-man squad for this
Summer’s World Cup in Brazil will be
practising their disappointed faces
during training sessions.
Hodgson was talking to reporters about
the preparations his players faced now
they have completed their warm up
games in Miami.
“Of course you can’t recreate the pressure
that goes with looking dejected at a major
tournament, but that doesn’t mean you
shouldn’t try and prepare,” he revealed.
“We’ve spent a lot of time standing with
our hands on our hips, shaking our heads,
using our shirts to wipe away tears and
practising interviews where we can’t put
our finger on what went wrong.”

Brom manager went on to reveal he had
no fears about using young players with
little experience in looking desolate at
international level.
“I’m confident that the players who have
no tournament experience have what it
takes to look crestfallen at the highest
One Stop Service
level,” he said.
With their opening game against Italy
just twelve days away, England captain
Steven Gerrard told reporters that the
experienced players will help the younger
members of the squad cope with the
pressure of looking forlorn.
“There’s a big difference between looking
disconsolate in the Premier League and
looking inconsolable at a World Cup,” he
said.
“Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard have
spent a lot of time with the younger lads
watching Turner & Hooch and Marley &
Me on DVD.”
“If you fail to prepare then be prepared
to fail.”
