England players want to play for Hodgson - Man Utd great Neville

England coach Gary Neville feels the players really want to do well for manager Roy Hodgson.

The former Manchester United captain is enjoying his role with the Three Lions, who are preparing for their Euro2012 quarter-final with Italy on Sunday, and is of the belief that Hodgson has been able to bring all of the players together for the good of English football.

"(He) is calm, doesn't get carried away by things, brings a great deal of humility, trusts in his players and has faith in them and I think they are recognising that he is someone they like and want to play for," Neville told FATV.

"I think that's important and one thing about the group in this last three, four weeks, the work rate, the endeavour, the effort has been absolutely incredible.

"Even for me having played with quite a few of them, to see it from the other side is inspiring really."
