Rooney 5/4 to make History v Stoke
WAYNE ROONEY is 5/4 to end up being Manchester United's leading goalscorer next weekend versus…
JAMIE VARDY must be chosen ahead of Harry Kane for England, according to Three Lions legend Emile Heskey.
Heskey informed Ladbrokes News. “Vardy looks more suited to the games we've played in France, and I ‘d stick to him over Kane. He's a legend for Leicester and can turn into one for England”,
The 38-year-old was speaking at a Ladbrokes #ForTheFans event, and made obvious of his appreciation for the existing Foxes hero, who is 4/6 to begin England's next game at Euro 2016.
England v Portugal? Yes please!
Heskey told us that potential last-16 challengers Portugal would be the perfect game for England. “Portugal would give us the area to go and attack, and that matches us better than playing a protective team like Slovakia.”
” We've struggled to break down these very strong, mindful teams but if we play someone who wants to attack, Vardy, Sturridge and so on – they can use that excellent strike rate they have on the counter-attack.”
Roo could likewise be key
In addition to hailing Vardy for his “unbelievable goalscoring record”, England hero Heskey informed Ladbrokes News: “Rooney is also vital. He's a wonderful player, and extremely underrated by some.”
He continued: “Wayne is a leader and he's also been fantastic slotting into midfield. However if he's not on the pitch, another person needs to step up and take on the function of leader. No one did that versus Slovakia. There have to be more huge characters on the field who make their voices heard.”
We could be quicker
Heskey also thinks that England might be more vibrant. “We do not attack rapidly enough and focus excessively on keeping possession. You take a look at France or Spain, they actually address defences– we need more of that.”
” We're still getting to grips with this competition and we have to attack more. England have the quality to reach the semis, however right now I believe they might be heading home after the quarter-finals.”
” England have a lot energy in the similarity Vardy, Kane, Sturridge, Rashford and a young side who do not burn out easily. We have to use that to our advantage.”
