Question

Paul Ince, How do you feel about the apparent lack of desire amongst certain players to play for their country? Do you think this is connected with pressure from clubs to protect their prime "assets" ?

Answer

I think players do still genuinely want to play for their countries – guys like David Beckham and John Terry are passionate about England. And look at how the under-21’s went about their European Championships over the summer. I was England’s first black Captain and I know representing my country was a monumental thing. I think clubs are more protective over their players these days – that’s true – because there is so much more at stake. MORE!
