Being one of England's most respected centre backs in history may give you some leverage for when you give your opinion on something. This time, Sol Campbell who was part of that unbeaten Arsenal team from the early 2000's, doesn't think that John Stones is the kind of player a manager could trust at such a young age, to play the European Championship as the main centre back of the team. Sol expects Roy Hodgson to see this mistake and use the more experienced players instead.
Sol Campbell said: “If you keep making mistakes at international level, you’re going to suffer because one mistake in a tournament and you can be out. If you make mistakes at a domestic level, you have more time to learn. He is learning. He just has to understand there are moments to play the ball and moments to keep hold of the ball. He just needs to find that balance. I personally would go for Smalling and Cahill. I would go for the experience of those two guys. For me, something drastic would have to happen for Stones to start. You start with your most solid back four and go from there.”
He then added: “Football has changed. Players want to go forward all the time. There are so many attacking midfielders. Then there are centre-backs who want to be defensive midfielders and full-backs that secretly want to be wingers. When I played I didn’t mind right-back and left-back going forward but one would stay and one would go. Now they both go. What is going on? Leicester have shown that a solid back four and people knowing their positions is key. You need to be flexible at the right time, not just, ‘I want to go, go, go’. You’ll get clever forwards exploiting those spaces so you have to get the balance right.”
