Sir Alex Ferguson advised England national team coach Sven-Goran Eriksson not to take Wes Brown to the European Championship. The club's head coach justifies this decision by saying that "the boy is simply tired." A few days ago, Manchester United's head strategist Sir Alex Ferguson officially asked the England national team coach not to invite "Red Devils" player Wesley Brown to the national team camp. This applies not only to friendly matches, but also to the European Championship starting in June. Currently, the "MU" defender is in excellent form, but he missed the first five months of the English championship due to a knee injury. This circumstance worries Manchester's club coach. "The boy needs to rest in the summer after what he experienced," Ferguson stated to the MUTV television channel. "Nobody should forget that the footballer 'went through' not only two cruciate ligaments, but also injured his shin," the specialist continued. "Therefore, his recovery is a real miracle." Finally, Ferguson added that he strongly recommends his decision, not imposes it. If Sven-Goran Eriksson listens to his colleague, then the defense of the England national team at the European Championship will be worse. Remember that Brown usually plays in the center or right back position. If the English do not have many problems with the "right backs" (Danny Mills can also play in this position), there are some problems in the center of defense. At the moment, there are two high-class footballers in this position in the national team - () and (). Other top central defenders for various reasons may probably not be able to help their team. , who has played quite successfully for the national team, got injured during one of the trainings and it is doubtful whether he will be able to travel to Portugal. The suspended will return to the squad before the European Championship, but it is doubtful if he will play at the highest level. Therefore, despite all of Ferguson's advice, the head coach of the England national team may include Brown in the lineup. The young "MU" defender has played 7 matches wearing the national team jersey. The last time he appeared on the field was in a match against the Australian national team on February 7 last year. The English convincingly won the game at Upton Park, beating the representatives of the green continent with a score of 3:1.
