Rio Ferdinand has revealed his determination to prove Sven-Goran Eriksson was wrong to leave him out of the England team earlier this season.
The Manchester United centre-back was dropped by Eriksson for the World Cup qualifier against Austria in October, which spurred the 27-year-old on to "prove the manager wrong and shove it back down his throat". Ferdinand's form has improved since and he looks set to be at the heart of England's defence for the World Cup in Germany this summer, thanks in part to the form and fitness of Arsenal's Sol Campbell.
"As a professional in any way shape or form, being left out of what you love doing and not being able to perform is something that's going to spur you on to work harder, to prove people wrong, prove the manager wrong and shove it back down his throat," said Ferdinand.
