Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere says he'll study Andrea Pirlo's game to improve his chances of a holding role with England.
Wilshere performed admirably for England in victory against Switzerland on Monday.
"We've got to do our homework. We've got to go through videos and analyse the games, because we don't get long together.
"In midweek, when the manager told me I was going to play there, I watched videos of Pirlo and Mascherano, the best players who play there. I'm learning the role and I'll get better.
"It was Pirlo's use of the ball they wanted me to look at and the way Mascherano breaks up play and gets around.
"I watched Argentina's game against Germany in the World Cup final and he was fantastic.
"And we've seen what Pirlo can do because he's done it to us a few times. They're the best players in the role and I can only learn from them."
