Roy Hodgson urges his England players to enjoy Euro 2012 and grasp the opportunity of playing in a major tournament.

England manager Roy Hodgson has claimed that he will try to enjoy Euro 2012 as much as he possibly can.

Hodgson will begin his first major tournament as England boss against France next Monday but insists that it is important to find enjoyment during the high-pressure matches.

The 64-year-old said: "I'm looking forward to it. I'm determined to look forward to it and trying to enjoy it as best I can.

"To really enjoy it, you've got to win. There's very little enjoyment in football when you're not winning. We all know that.

"You don't get many opportunities in your career to play in a major tournament and we've got to try to make certain we understand that it's not a bad thing to be here."

The England squad arrived at their Krakow hotel on Wednesday.
