This could be Joleon's last possiblity to elegance planet stage with England a' and 30-year-old can not waste next year on the Etihad counter Mike Hewitt Joleon Lescott has admitted he doubts his World Cup dreams could be shattered a' unless he regains his status as a normal at Manchester City. Lescott, 30, has lost his automated starting position at City this season and the England opponent says he needs to play first-team baseball to make it to next summeras finals in Brazil. The centre-half was just a last-minute call-up due to accidents and distributions but is now likely to begin against Montenegro after finishing the 8-0 demolition of San Marino wearing the captainas armband. It is commensurate with Lescottas topsy-turvy year as he enjoyed a good Euros for England and yet lost his place in the City first group, which may actually result in him leaving the Etihad this summer. I was asked by lescott said: aIf youad last year about my chances of planning to the World Cup then Iad have mentioned, aYeah, quite good.a But you donat know. If I can play more frequently at team level then I feel Iall be there. aTowards the conclusion of the season, Iall address that. However for now, Iam totally dedicated to England and what England have to do. Iam maybe not saying Iam a guaranteed starter or such a thing but I'm healthy and sharp. aI havenat been playing as much as Iad like but I've confidence in my own power. I havenat been injured because I havenat been enjoying so I feel sharp enough to conform to any such thing they offer. aOff the back of last time, winning the league and going to the Euros, and then perhaps not playing frequently at City, anything can happen in baseball. Nothing is taken by me for granted. aAnd no disrespect to the Euros but you donat grow up dreaming about them a' itas the Entire World Cup you grow up dreaming about. Thatas the same for everyone. aIt would be nice to play in virtually any World Cup but countries like England and Brazil can disagree about who the founders of baseball so that it would be special.a Lescott has performed more for City in recent days but there is no escaping that his omission from Roberto Mancinias line-up has seen him collapse the Three Lionsa pecking order. Robert Hewitt / Getty San Marino v England, World Cup Qualifier Party H - Photo particular Britain manager Roy Hodgson only gave Lescott the phone call after Michael Dawson pulled out injured, and Rio Ferdinandas withdrawal meant he began against San Marino and is set to keep his position against Montenegro. But Lescott admits he was always hoping the call might come and that his wife Debbie was convinced it'd a' even though it meant they'd overlook a romantic day at Paris consequently. Lescott said: aI was Adisappointed not to maintain the initial group. But I comprehended the reasons. aBut then I acquired the call asking me to step in after Michaelas harm. I was just happy to be involved. Town had given us some time off and I was going away with my wife to Paris for a few days. aBut she guessed that I would get called up. I said, soa is hoped by aI and she was right. I'd no inkling, but she called it right. Iall have to get her to select the lottery numbers next week! aObviously I wasn't playing as often since the other people. so I completely understand the reasons for perhaps not being in there.a michael and Rio were playing often and playing well European stars: Mario Balotelli of Italy and Joleon Lescott of England throughout the UEFA EURO 2012 quarter-final fit Claudio Apartment Lescott also admits that John Terryas Aretirement and Athe absence of Ferdinand have led to a decrease in Englandas defensive criteria. However the ex-Everton person is sure he and central-defensive partner Chris Smalling can gel again in Montenegro tomorrow night. Lescott added: aJT and Rio played each of their careers at top clubs and, with no disrespect to the clubs Iave played for, that hasnat been the situation with me or Chris. The Apairingas not likely as powerful as then but that doesnat mean it canat be as Aimportant moving forward. aMontenegro will be a good test for just about any relationship since they are good players. But weare confident we could handle that. Amazement canat guarantee a clean sheet but we can guarantee that weare going to be professional and go about our job well. aMontenegro will be described as a test, we all know that. Earning the Group is massive. Weare confident we are able to win the Group. Itas in our hands.a
