Steve McClaren

will 接触する David

Bentley in the next

36 hours and ask

the Blackburn midfielder

to 納得させる him he

wants to play for England.

Bentley 誘発するd 抱擁する 論争

when he 辞退するd to 代表する

England Under 21s in the

summer's European 選手権s

in Holland. Coach

Stuart Pearce was incensed,

主張するing that "when your country

comes calling you put them

first and yourself second".

Rooney broken

Bentley complained of 厳しい

疲労,(軍の)雑役 at the end of what was

his first 十分な season as a 上級の

professional and will remind

McClaren that, unlike many of

his 同時代のs, he had not

enjoyed a break because he

was part of the B-squad that

met Albania at Burnley and

had also been training with the

上級の England squad.

McClaren, who 指名するs his

first squad of the season

tomorrow for next week's

friendly against Germany, may

need to hear more than that

before 申し込む/申し出ing Bentley the

chance to redeem himself.

As he discussed his 選択s at

Soho Square yesterday,

McClaren 定評のある that

Bentley did 'very 井戸/弁護士席' against

Albania. But he then said: "I'll

have a conversation with him

and after that I'll be able to

answer the questions I have.

"We look at every individual

and his character and whether

he has the character to play for

England. I kept out of the

審議. It was an Under 21

問題/発行する. He made his 決定/判定勝ち(する)

and it's in the past. How we

move on from it we'll see."

Some would argue that

McClaren should have joined

the 審議 after he was

brought in as an England coach who would take a much

keener 利益/興味 in the junior

代表者/国会議員 味方するs than his

前任者.

But he 辞退するd to even

answer the question of whether

Bentley had been 'forgiven'. He

said: "You'll find out when you

see what happens," although he

did then agree with the 感情

that Bentley had passed

up an 適切な時期 most

players would very much like to

have had.

On the 支配する of David

Beckham, McClaren was more

forthright. He travelled to the

U.S. last week to see Beckham's

簡潔な/要約する 外見 for LA

星雲 and 認める that,

even against a half-decent DC

Washington 味方する, the 基準

was 'good 選手権, low

首相の職' level at best.

Whether Beckham ― who the

coach would like to select

against Germany barring any

傷害 後退s ― can continue

as an international while playing

at that level is something

McClaren said he would only

be able to 設立する as the

season went on.

He said: "I spoke to David and

he was very, very 肯定的な and

seemed to be enjoying the

experience there.

'As long as he is playing, fit

and 動機づけるd to play and

keeps that level of fitness which

he had in the summer then he

will be an 資産. As with everything,

it depends on form.

'He's playing in central midfield

and maybe that will be

good. He will get more of the

ball, do more running and get

more 伴う/関わるd and that might

help him. How things 進歩

we will have to see in the

coming months.

"I understand the 関心s

but you will have to wait to see

him pull on an England shirt

and you will 裁判官 whether it is

影響する/感情ing him or not.

'We will get LA 星雲's

games on tape. I will watch

every one of his games like I do

with all the players. All players

are 裁判官d on 業績/成果.

Not on anything else. It's what

they do on the field and he has

to do it week in, week out.

"He's got to do that in

training so there are やめる a few

factors."

So would McClaren be 用意が出来ている

to 減少(する) Beckham again?

"That's a 決定/判定勝ち(する) I am ready

and willing to make," he said.

"That's my 職業."

McClaren 認める that his

試みる/企てるs to 説得する Jamie

Carragher to come out of international

退職 had failed.

He met the Liverpool defender

on Monday but said: "I did not

want to lose him from the

squad. I made that やめる 明らかな.

Unfortunately for Jamie,

he's in a position at centre-half

where the 競争 is. It's

up to Jamie whether he 受託するs

that and it's up to Jamie how

he explains his 決定/判定勝ち(する)."

McClaren ーするつもりであるs to select a

large squad on Friday, even

招待するing players who may not

be fit to 参加する next week

but remain in his 計画(する)s for the

European 選手権 qualifiers

against イスラエル and Russia.

Micah Richards will be in and

Alan Smith, in the absence of

metatarsal 犠牲者 Wayne

Rooney, should be の中で a

number of strikers along with

Peter Crouch ― 一時停止するd for

the イスラエル game ― and Michael

Owen, who 改善するd his

chances of 選択 by coming

through a 私的な practice

match against Gretna yesterday.

Emile Heskey will not be in,

while it is a の近くに call for Sol

Campbell and David James.
