Liverpool boss Hodgson: English clubs face massive test in Europe
Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson says English football face a major test to assert their dominance on Europe this season.
Just 48 hours after Tottenham struggled in the Champions League against Young Boys in Berne, Switzerland, Hodgson warned English football's dominance in Europe was facing another stern test against a Trabzonspor side with six Turkish titles and eight cups to their name.
"The draw was particularly unkind to us in pairing us with the strongest of the unseeded sides," he said. "They play in a very competitive league in Turkey and have an excellent record in Europe, so we know what we are up against."
