United captain Gary Neville: New Premier League rules won't improve England prospects

Manchester United defender Gary Neville doesn’t believe that new Premier League rules restricting overseas players will benefit the England national team.

Last season all Premier League clubs voted on the introduction of a quotas system on the number of foreign players in a match day squad.

The new rules state that clubs must name a squad of up to 25 players, with 8 of those being ‘home-grown’ players, with no more than 17 of those players being allowed to be over the age of 21 and not home-grown.

However, Neville doesn’t believe the regulations will aid the development of the national team in the future.

"In terms of what can be changed to improve England's prospects in future, it is quite difficult to change the whole English structure just to benefit the national team,” Neville wrote for the Sunday Times.

“The Premier League is one of the best in the world and we accommodate foreign players.”

"My view is that if English players are good enough they will come through. We already have community and school programmers.

“You could argue that the academy system needs to be improved, but there is no secret formula. England will always produce good players, but so do other countries and we can't stop them doing that."

The quality of England players has been questioned following their exit from the World Cup at the hands of a youthful German side.

Three Lions boss Fabio Capello is now expected to call on younger players when he picks his team for a friendly with Hungary next month at Wembley.

Led the Portugal midfielder "Nani" Manchester United's win over Tottenham in the Premier League 1 / 3 in the opening round of 36, and scored Nani goal and then succeeded in the kidnapping of a penalty for promoting progress, and the goal came from Ryan Giggs after a penalty kick just happened by Evra and the same player added the third goal, while scoring for Tottenham, Ledley King goal of questionable authenticity, Wathba on Carrick.

He missed and Wayne Rooney on the meeting of a sudden, did not announce it until just before the meeting, approximately one hour, and did not quite live up the level of the first half to the aspirations of fans from both sides, Manchester United tried to break from the parties and the depth of defense, but hit a vigilant defensive Alozarp and my defense while supporting the ongoing of midfielders in midfield, and it seemed clear and if Spurs want to point out of this game, even the counter attack did not play it, and re-Redknapp the pinion "Gareth Bale" to play in the center of the original cover for more to clarify this matter, but he was successful Tbdelath tactical cum Osukutu on the right to close the spaces on the Nanny However, overall performance affected by the big match will become stifled and sterile.

In 70 minutes Tottenham in achieving the goal of the amendment header strong defender English, "Ledley King" after a corner kick from Gareth Bale and bounce King You pay the ball on the Carrick with his hands but the referee did not see the game well, go for his powerful shot to the left of van der Sar was a young man "Rafael da Silva" has been standing in the same corner, but failed to keep her out.

Shocked Manchester this goal, but almost conceding a goal from Luka Modric or Aaron Lennon or Jodinson only that the defense every time starring led by O'Shea and Vidic or goalkeeper van der Sar came up 78 minutes to mark the first chance to red after the goal with a low drive was weak.

Witnessed minute 80 change offensive Manchester Descent "Maqueda" instead of Rafael da Silva, to stimulate the attack, and succeeded the young Italian passed Globe magic after an exchange of ball between him and Fletcher, to go to Nani penetrating from the right, and who took great skill to put himself in the face of Gomez then sends the ball (Loeb) over the head of Brazilian goalkeeper suffered by Arsenal and Chelsea over the past two weeks.

Returned Manchester in the game, and returned Nani of tossing creations in the remaining minutes by obtaining a correct penalty kick after being fouled by Palacios when he was on his way to the goal in minute 85, and again paid Giggs ball but this time to the left of Gomez and also tried with them but they were quick and parked.

The fight is on between Chelsea and Manchester

Seems certain to prevail in the sixth, and thirty of the English Premier League football, which starts tomorrow, Saturday, a state of tension with the cautious approach of the end of the season, while the increasingly vicious conflict between Manchester United and Chelsea for the title-Nafis.

Three rounds before the end of the season, Chelsea top the table the table by one point ahead of arch-rivals Manchester United, the largest, which seeks to make the title for the fourth consecutive time, with Arsenal in third place, five points off the pace.

Spurs great service to Manchester United when they succeeded in toppling the myth Chelsea in the last round, but the latter hopes to succeed Harry Redknapp children in the crossing of the dam fortification to Manchester at Old Trafford.

To the Manchester United record of Musharraf in the confrontations between himself and Tottenham in recent years, especially games that took place at Old Trafford, will have Michael Carrick, former player for Tottenham, cause personally paid to make sure there is no room for the fall of his current team, Manchester, in this critical stage of the season.

Said Carrick, who hinted that he still follows the results of Tottenham "It is Maouselt how things .. In the beginning of the season you can not ever expect the scenario that came to him this season."

"The feeling of change from week to week depending on the team they face a team that encourages you in a week, then playing against the same team in the week immediately following, this is the nature of the game."

There will be no problem for Carrick to overcome his feelings on Saturday, although he knew that most of all dangerous that can be caused by the Spurs, who succeeded in teaching Arsenal, then Chelsea, two lessons Qasien.

The Carrick, "to form a team that has been configured with the passage of the years of wonderful model, we are at the end of the season now, and must respect one's opponent very well."

"We have made great results after a disappointing exit from the FA Cup by Portsmouth."

Spurs are fourth, two points against Manchester City in the struggle for the center, which gives its owner the right to participate in the Champions League next season, the team entering the upcoming match against Manchester is full of confidence. Younes Kaboul is believed, one of the star players for the current season, said his team is able to achieve its third win in a row.

Kabul, said "It was a great week, we do not think that a lot of people expected we can beat Arsenal, Chelsea after the defeat against Portsmouth in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

"I hope to count on these results this week, the game will be extremely difficult, at Old Trafford, but we can win there, why not? It depends on us."

He added that "the defeat of Manchester City last week was a good thing to us and if we continue playing this way, that our backs in the last two games, there will be no reason why we can finish the season in fourth place."

But the facts show that, regardless of what happens at Old Trafford and the results of Manchester United in the remaining three games, the title is in the hands of Chelsea in the event the team have secured victory in the last three rounds of the season.

Mean difference of one point that he no room for Chelsea to fall again during the last three games, which initiated face Stoke City at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

With the launch of Sunday's game, may find themselves behind Chelsea in the table for Manchester United (in the case of Manchester has succeeded in winning over Tottenham Hotspur), which increases pressure on Chelsea with the approaching season of the station access.

Chelsea have been missing the efforts of John Obi Mikel, who suffered ligament damage in his ankle last week, but the Portuguese midfielder Deco believes his team has enough strength and experience necessary to climb onto the podium.

Deco told "The first thing you should know is that we are in the lead, the last three games Westcott difficult, of course, we will suffer some pressure because we need to win our games in the event of Manchester has succeeded in winning over the last three rounds."

"It's war and we must be ready to, if the predicted first day of the Premier League last August we will be in the lead by one point against Manchester with three rounds remaining, two at home and one away from home, to Qlnaanmak, / Well sign. "

He stressed, "you can do a calculation, but it is up to us, if we won the last three matches Sentuj title."

In the context of the struggle for fourth place with Tottenham, Manchester City come out to meet Arsenal, who already holds a mathematical chance to make the title, on Saturday, but certainly this opportunity faded after the disappointing defeat to Wigan last week.

Should appear in Liverpool some improvement in the performance of both mental and physical health, after losing zero / 1 at home to Atletico Madrid on Thursday in the semi-final of the League of Europe, when it plays host Burnley after tomorrow, Sunday, in order to maintain any hope for the team in finish the season in fourth place.

Meet Aston Villa, who revived his chances of finishing fourth, through the victory over Hull City mid-week, at home to Birmingham.

At the bottom of the conflict, at a time make sure the landing Portsmouth his post, the Panel seeks to create more pressure on the Burnley, Hull City, who occupy second and third places from the bottom.

Meet with Portsmouth away to Bolton on Saturday to meet with Hull City, Sunderland and Burnley with Liverpool, and, if lost, Burnley and Hull in the next round, the West Ham have revived their hopes of survival by beating Wigan.

In other matches, will meet Wolverhampton Blackburn Saturday and will meet Everton at home to Fulham on Sunday.
