Sven after a winter break

Sven after a winter break

03 November 2007 - 12:45

Man City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson believes that the Premiership is now ready to have a winter break. Sven argued that the break will help teams after the difficult December period, and believes it will also help England's national team.

  • Chelsea join Liverpool & Man Utd in race to sign 26yo
  • Barcelona identify Arsenal midfielder as key transfer target

  • "It would be good for the national team when they go to big tournaments and good for clubs in Europe," the former England boss told Radio Five Live.



    "I have been fighting for this for many years. There is too much football and not enough breaks.



    "We are the only country in Europe without a mid-season break. After the FA Cup in January we should have one.



    "It is important to give players one week off and one week to prepare for the next game.



    "You have time to heal small injuries when you have one week off and can recover much better.



    "If you take one week off every one will benefit. I think it will happen."
