France manager Laurent Blanc takes a swipe at England's style of play under Roy Hodgson.

France manager Laurent Blanc has criticised England's style of play under Roy Hodgson.

The Three Lions, who face France in Donetsk later today, have recorded back-to-back 1-0 wins in Hodgson's first two games in charge and Blanc believes that the former West Bromwich Albion boss has been setting his team up in a negative manner.

Ahead of the sides' Euro 2012 Group D opener, Blanc said: "If we play the English way, it'll be 0-0 and we might get a goal from a set-piece, so we'll play our own game.

"I hope the side that plays more football will win but it's not always the case."

France have won four of their last five meetings with England.
