Posted: Tue Sep 9, 2014 2:38 pm
Jack Wilshire hopes to receive more chances in a new role as a defensive-midfielder for England.
Wilshire was deployed at the base of a midfield diamond in England's 2-0 win over Switzerland.
"I spoke with the manager and Gary Neville in the week and they told me they wanted me to play that role and I quite enjoyed it,” he told the FA’s official website.
"It was my first time ever playing there so, over the next month or so, I am going to look at a few videos of this game and of players who play in that position regularly - Pirlo, Mascherano and players like that - and I’ll get better.
"I felt it went well [on Monday] but, next time we meet up, I feel it can only go better."
