Joe Hart is not worried by the lack of numbers in Englands defence ahead of Euro 2016 and feels the unit boasts plenty of quality. Roy Hodgson opted to take seven defenders - only three of them specialist centre-halves - to France, coming in for criticism by pundits and former internationals.But Hart is sure the defensive players Hodgson has picked, plus midfielder Eric Dier if needed, will be enough to sustain a long run in the tournament. England fly to Marseille on Friday ahead of their opening game against Russia on Saturday evening, and Hart says the defensive group working hard in training is ready for action.I feel its very balanced and very comfortable, the Manchester City goalkeeper said when asked about the criticism of Hodgsons selection. Chris Smalling is one of only three specialist centre-backs in Englands 23-man squad Maybe the numbers arent there, but the seven potential defenders picked that are in the squad, and obviously with Eric as well able to slot in, are really high-level players.With England, you usually only get a couple of days together, but we are now here for a couple of weeks and we feel really together and comfortable with each other - we definitely do. Hart believes Wayne Rooney is playing a key role within the England squad for Euro 2016. There is a good link between the midfield and the defence and we feel strong.I dont really know what criticism you are referring to, but thats always going to happen. Someones going to get scrutinised, something is going to be scrutinised. What formation will Roy Hodgson plump for? The important thing to me is that the coaching staff and players, we believe in the players that are here. We feel confident and comfortable as a unit and we are ready.England have been preparing for the Russians for around three weeks and Hart says there is clarity within the squad about their opening task even though Hodgson has a number of possible formations to choose from, and is keeping his cards close to his chest. Hart thinks England have to start being on the right end of key moments if theyre to make it to the later stages of Euro 2016 We are very clear of all the different ways that we play, he added. When we want to bring them in and when we dont want to bring them in.Under small instruction from Roy, we can chop and change in a game. We work together as a unit and we are definitely ready for Saturday. Englands players have been working with renowned sports psychologist Steve Peters And Hart has been enjoying working alongside sports psychiatrist Dr Steve Peters, who is renowned for his work with Olympic athletes.He is a good addition, a fresh addition and he is there if you need him, Hart said.I am open, but it is more of a group thing. We sit down as a group, work together and with all the meetings we do, try to get the best out of each other.

Mario Manningham, one of the Giants most productive receivers from 2008-2011, will rejoin the team. Known for his spectacular 38-yard reception that began the teams winning drive against New England in the 2012 Super Bowl, Manningham spent the last two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. Those two seasons with the 49ers were cut short by injury. In 2012, he played in 12 games before tearing his ACL and missing San Franciscos post-season run to the Super Bowl. Last year, he began the season on the physically unable to perform list, returned to play in six games, but again ended up on injured reserve because of recurring issues with his knee. He was the Giants third-round draft choice in 2008, the 95th overall selection. In four years, he caught 160 passes for 2,315 yards and 18 touchdowns. "Once a Giant, always a Giant. Thats how I feel," he said Tuesday. "This is a very special place. I wanted to come back. "Im real excited. Its just great to see everybody, be around familiar faces, knowing everybody in the past and just being comfortable around everybody." Manninghams best season with the Giants was in 2010, when he had career-high totals of 60 receptions for 944 yards and nine touchdowns. He had a career-long catch in each of the final two games, with an 85-yardder at Green Bay and a 92-yarder at Washington.dddddddddddd In the last three games of that season, Manningham caught 16 passes for 346 yards, a 21.6-yard average, and four touchdowns. In order, Manningham totalled 113, 132 and 101 yards to become the first Giants receiver with three consecutive 100-yard games since Homer Jones in 1968. In his two seasons in San Francisco, Manningham played in 18 games with 13 starts and had 51 catches for 534 yards and one touchdown. New York also signed free agent kick returner Trindon Holliday, who spent the last two seasons with Denver. Holliday scored on a 105-yard kickoff return last season. He also had an 81-yard punt return against the Giants. In a playoff loss to Baltimore two seasons ago, Hollidays record-setting performance saw him return a punt in the first quarter for a 90-yard touchdown, the longest punt return in post-season history. In the third quarter, he ran back a kickoff 104 yards for another score to become the first player in NFL history with a punt return touchdown and a kick return touchdown in the same post-season game. At 5-foot-5 and 170 pounds, Holliday is one of the NFLs smallest players. "Sometimes, I think my size is an advantage," Holliday said. "I can field the kicks and hide behind those big linemen when the other guys are coming down. Its hard for them to see me." ' ' '
