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".
Scroll 負かす/撃墜する to read more:
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.
