Posted by admin in Since qualifying for the 2010 World Cup England’s fans have had their hopes of success once again rekindled. Chelsea and national team defender Ashley Cole says he too has high hopes that England will put on a good show and believes the national selection has the abilities to lift English football to a higher level by reaching the World Cup finals.
Following England’s guaranteed place in South Africa 2010 Cole maintains his opinion that people’s perception of the England team will be changed for the better. He believes that after their successful win against Croatia the smile was firmly put back on the faces of the English fans following England’s absence from Euro 2008.
England coach Fabio Capello has had dramatic results since he arrived at the English training camp. His campaign to renew the spirit of belief has worked its magic so far and proved to be a success as far as qualifying for the World Cup goes.
Cole who joined Premier League Club Chelsea in 2006 after leaving Arsenal has enjoyed a good run of form so far playing for the country. Despite being booed after giving a goal away against Kazakhstan the defender has more than proved his quality on the field.
When asked if the new positive outlook would alter his miserable looking image during play Cole replied,
“When I play, that’s how I play, I’m afraid. I’m not miserable I am always laughing and joking along with my team-mates but its right that people want you to treat it like a job when you play. I don’t think other people laugh and joke all the time at work and I am not going to either.”
