Ex-England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson believes that the "lions" will fail at the 2018 World Cup.

Sven-Goran Erickson is sure that the players of the England national team are too exhausted by the exhausting season.

"I would like to be mistaken, but I think England does not expect anything good in the final tournament of the World Cup and it will not achieve anything again," the former coach of the England Air Force. - The problem of Gareth Southgate, like his predecessors and, possibly, successors, is that all the players of the national team play in the Premier League, where there is no winter break, unlike Spain, Germany, Italy and France. Players after exhausting season are simply exhausted. And when it is necessary to show all the best, what they are capable of, they no longer have the strength ".

Eriksson led the England team at the 2002 World Cup, Euro 2004 and World Cup 2006 and constantly advocated the introduction of the winter break.
