Wenger was heavily criticised for fielding an entirely foreign squad in the recent Champions League fixture against Real Madrid as the Gunners sealed their place in the quarter-finals. West Ham counterpart Alan Pardew was particularly vociferous but Football Association director of football development Brooking believes Wenger's hands are tied. "I'm sure Arsene Wenger would love a team of Englishmen, but his priority is a successful side, regardless of nationality," Brooking told the Daily Mail. "My challenge as director of football development is to lead a programme of skills development in our young generation that makes clubs look locally first when searching for talented, technically-accomplished players. "The harsh fact is that many clubs feel our teenage hopefuls are a long way behind the technical skills of their European counterparts. "Although, thankfully, there are some notable exceptions, I have to agree with the overall judgement that we have some major catching-up to rectify this problem. "Only around 40% of first-team players in the Premiership are English, as compared to around 65% of Spanish players in La Liga, for example," said the former England international. "With an overall population of nearly 16 million people, I do not believe we are producing the depth of talent we should and I would like to make competition for places that much harder." 最後一句很中肯。 --
