Crystal Palace captain Marc Guhi has opened up about his relationship with manager Roy Hodsgon.
The 23-year-old central defender is one who England are now relying on for their Euro 2024 campaign.
While Guhi's focus is on cementing himself as a Three Lions starter, he is not forgetting about the impact of club boss Hodgson on his career.
He said of Hodgson, per club media: Some of the gems he says every single day you just have to take a step back sometimes and think: 'Did he just say that?'.
They definitely help you a lot with games coming up with Palace and coming away with the national team.
I think he mentioned something about Inter Milan, back in the day, and he was talking about Roberto Carlos. Even to think he has coached Roberto Carlos! You are sat in the meeting and you are like: 'Honestly, wow!'. You are taken aback.
He has done so much in the game, so when he talks, you listen. He tells me to be myself, to express myself and to enjoy and keep doing what I am doing for my club.
As long as the gaffer is still involved in football, I think he will always have an impact. He and his staff have done a fantastic job. They are really ambitious, so just doing a good job isn't enough for them they want to push on and see how far they can take the team."
