Mike Brown is the rock to build fortress on says Ugo Monye

Mike Brown can emulate his boyhood hero Peter Schmeichel and be 's rock during the according to Ugo Monye.
The full-back is a big Manchester United fan and has moulded his game on the former 'keeper.
Speaking at the launch of the ‘The Game Starts Here'* campaign by Beats by Dr.Dre, Monye told TRP: “Mike is the rock at the back. He's tried and tested and he's very important to England's back three. He's deadly going forward but his defence and ability to deal with the high ball is what makes him special.
“His idol is Schmeichel – the best goalkeeper the Premier League has ever seen. People didn't get past him easily just like they don't get past Mike. I really like the balance England have in the back three with Jonny May and Anthony Watson alongside Mike.
“Jonny is a mercurial player and he does things you don't expect. He looked a lot bigger against two weeks ago, but that's what an intense World Cup preparation does to you.
“His confidence has gone through the roof playing all three games and you don't run over two in Tommy Bowe and Simon Zebo if you lack confidence.
“Anthony is the final piece of that jigsaw. He is devastating with his blistering pace.”

England face two tough Tests to get out of the Pool of Death with and coming to Twickenham over the next two Saturdays.
The hosts will be under huge pressure but Monye is expecting the players to thrive on it – just like Team GB did at London 2012.
“The Olympics being in London pushed the home athletes to great success and I'm sure this England team will thrive on that support for the next few weeks.
“They will be under pressure, they will concede tries and they might be on the wrong side of the referee. But having 80,000 people all chanting for you will give them that extra bit of energy to get over the line.
“I think England will win their group and they're one of five or six teams that can win the Cup. It promises to be an incredible tournament. To see ITV move the X-Factor to another night so they can show the rugby is a statement of how far the sport's come.”
