Sven: England needs winter break
Posted Wednesday, June 30, 2010 by PA
Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson believes the Premier League must introduce a winter break if the national side are to be successful at major tournaments.
Current incumbent Fabio Capello spoke of the need for a break in his final press conference before England departed South Africa on Monday following the heavy 4-1 defeat to Germany.
Eriksson, who was in charge of the Ivory Coast for the World Cup, said: "I don't think there is anything wrong with English football. The only thing I was fighting for (when I was in charge) was a winter break, but because of money the Premier League never accepted that."
