Legendary Swedish coach Sven-Goran Eriksson, who led the England national team for five years, claims that this team will never win the World Championship if there is no winter break in the "Premier" league.
This summer, the England national team will travel to Russia to try to fulfill their dream with Harry Kane in the lead. England will compete in the group with Belgium, Tunisia, and Panama.
S. Eriksson participated in the World Cup twice with England and both times withdrew in the quarterfinals. At that time, the national team was considered the "golden generation", but the strategist from Sweden failed to achieve resounding victories with them.
"In 2006, I was convinced we would win. I thought there were no better teams than us, so the disappointment was huge," said the strategist in an interview.
"I think this year the English have really good chances. They have many excellent new and young players who shine in the "Premier" league, but they still need to hope for success in terms of injuries.
Injuries and fatigue have always been a huge problem for England. I will say it again: if there is no winter break introduced in the "Premier" league, the England national team will not win the World Cup," concluded the famous coach, who has been working in Chinese clubs in recent years.
S. Eriksson's news is that England will introduce a winter break in the "Premier" league soon. It is planned that the new competition format with a two-week break during the holiday season will come into force in 2020.
