Craig Cathcart outlines similar approach of Michael O’Neill and Quique Sanchez Flores

"They are actually pretty similar in the way they set up… similar characters."

Craig Cathcart has drawn parallels between Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores and Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill as he prepares to swap his club shirt for an international jersey.

The defender is part of O'Neill's squad to face Wales and Slovenia over the Easter period and he will look to firmly establish himself in his country's XI ahead of this summer's European Championship, a major tournament that Northern Ireland will attend for the first time in 30 years.
