Roberto Martinez: 'England must change'

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez insists that England must change their overall style of play if they are to match the success of Spain.

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez believes that England must change their overall style of play if they are to match the success of Spain.

The Three Lions were knocked out in the quarter-final of Euro 2012 to Italy, and Martinez has stressed that the country must now change their philosophy.

"Iniesta and Xavi would never have made it six years ago in a British team. The first selection is 'not tall enough, not strong enough," Martinez told The Guardian.

Spain beat Italy 4-0 in the final of Euro 2012 on Sunday.
