MANCHESTER, England -- Gareth Southgates four-game spell as Englands interim manager will end at full time of Tuesdays international friendly against Spain at Wembley Stadium.Whatever fate befalls Southgate -- and the likelihood is hell soon be handed the job on a full-time basis -- he has already made a significant imprint on the team.One of the key principles Southgate has stamped on the national side in his five weeks temporarily in charge has been an insistence on playing the ball out from the back -- an approach that is slowly pervading the English Premier League but can sometimes be viewed with skepticism by the English public.I want us to be brave with the ball, Southgate said last month in some of his first words in the job. I want to see an England team that is brave in possession of the ball and prepared to take chances, prepared to take?risks in one versus one situations, even though I know they wont always succeed in those moments.In defender John Stones, Southgate has a player who embodies this attitude.Stones is a ball-playing center back who moved to Manchester City in August for 47.5 million pounds (then $62 million), making him the second-most expensive defender in football history. He fit the bill for new City coach Pep Guardiola, who likes his teams to have defenders who are comfortable on the ball and can start attacks from the back.Southgate is similar in that regard and adopted a similar playing style as manager of Englands under-21 squad, so its no wonder he has made Stones the centerpiece of Englands defense in his brief time in charge of the senior team.England hasnt conceded a goal thus far under Southgate, although the opponents have been mediocre at best in Malta, Slovakia and Scotland.Spain will offer a much tougher test. As masters of playing the ball out from the back, the Spanish will also serve as a good example to their England counterparts of how to execute such an approach.Some have even compared the play of the 22-year-old Stones to that of Spain defender Gerard Pique, who will miss Tuesdays game because of an ankle injury.In the 3-0 win over Scotland on Friday, Stones determination to play out from the back saw him give the ball away in a dangerous position early on. He also took perhaps unnecessary risks around the edge of his own box in an attempt to beat Scotlands high press.At the start of the year, Stones -- then playing for Everton -- performed three Cruyff turns around his box while being challenged for the ball in a Premier League match against Tottenham. He earned a free kick and gave a calm down gesture to the fans who were audibly unnerved by Stones risk-taking.Its the only way he knows.Its understandable that people will say things about the way I play, that some people arent going to like me, Stones said last month. But this is how I want to play.Given his style, Stones will always make errors. One of them occurred in a 1-1 draw against Southampton last month when his pass to a teammate at the edge of Citys area was intercepted by Nathan Redmond, who scored.Theres also a concern that when playing for his national team, Stones doesnt have a goalkeeper or the defensive players alongside him with strong enough technique and composure to ensure that playing out from the back is the right optionSouthgate isnt for wavering, though. He believes Stones can have as successful a career as Pique and Germany center backs Mats Hummels and Jerome Boateng, and that Stones needs encouragement rather than criticism.For years, weve talked about not being able to play out from the back, Southgate said of the England psyche. If were to be different, if were to progress, then we have to encourage players.What weve got to remember is hes 22. In central defensive terms, its nothing. If we want to have a Hummels, a Boateng, a Pique ... I think hes got the perfect manager (in Guardiola) to work with and to hone, and for all of our defenders, thats what we want to encourage.

Chris Sandow is hopeful of making a return to the NRL in 2017 with at least three clubs believed to be interested in the halfback.The 27-year-old former Parramatta playmaker is back in Australia after controversially walking out on the final year of his UK Super League contract with Warrington due to homesickness.Sandow wasnt giving too much away on a possible suitor on Tuesday but St George Illawarra, Melbourne and Canterbury have been mentioned as possible destinations.I am not worried about it, he told Sky Sports Radio.I have got a good manager and hes been working on that, I am leaving it up to him.I am going to wait and see and let you guys wait on that I think.Asked to rate his confidence about an NRL return, Sandow said: I would like to say medium but we just have to wait and see.Fingers crossed, thats all I can say.Sandow sounded upbeat on Tuesday after last week not ruling out retirement.He said there were no hard feelings with Warrington despite the send-off he received from coach Tony Smith.The Wolves mentor described the ex-Eels No.7 as erratic, a pain and unreliable during his two season Super League stay afteer Sandow walked out on the club.dddddddddddd.Sandow stood by his decision to return home, saying he wanted to be with family following the death of his uncle a year ago.Everyone has a reason. Mine was pretty unfortunate, with my family, Sandow said.But Warrington are a good club. I dont advise against anyone going and checking out Super League.Sandow said he could empathise with James Segeyaro who has walked out on Super League giants Leeds.The Rhinos plan to sue Segeyaro and have reportedly put a $425,000 transfer fee on his head, hindering an NRL return.Its hard (relocating to England), Sandow said.I dont mind the weather and there is a good brand of footy being played - its just a long way from home.I made a lot of close friends over there.I just had a few personal issues with family, thats one of the reasons I have come back home.Sandows priority is Friday nights charity fight against former NRL bad boy Todd Carney at Sydneys Hordern Pavilion.It would be good to knock him out, Sandow said.
