England coach Roy Hodgson has explained his criticism of Everton midfielder Ross Barkley after their draw with Ecuador.
Hodgson was speaking at a fans Q&A in Miami.
"I was anxious to play down the expectations," said Hodgson. "I've seen too many young players lifted to the stars, made the new [Kevin] Keegan, the new [Glenn] Hoddle, the new [Paul] Gascoigne, the new [John] Terry, the new Rio [Ferdinand].
"Every time someone has a half-good game, they are the new star. We believe in him but people shouldn't be suggesting our World Cup should be hinging on his performance."
