LONDON: Eberechi Eze has credited the"insane wisdom" of veteran Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson for helping him earn a first call-up to the England senior squad.
"I am very grateful to Roy for all he did in helping me regain form. He helped me massively with my mental state too," winger Eze, who scored 10 Premier League goals last season, told reporters at a press conference on Tuesday.Hodgson, 75, returned to Crystal Palace after Patrick Vieira was sacked in March, and immediately guided them away from relegation danger.
"You can see from what he did coming back how effective he was. The influence he had on the players, the mindset and freedom we played with. That is something we hadn't had for a while," Eze said.
