GERRARD WILL START

The skipper of the England national football team, Steven Gerrard, has said that he is completely fit and he would definitely play in England’s next World Cup qualifying game against Ukraine. Gerrard had played for only 45 minutes in England’s first World Cup qualifying match against Moldova. He didn’t come to play in the second half. After that, there have been speculations that Gerrard is suffering from an injury. But, the English captain has denied all those reports and said that he just wanted to have a bit of rest. So, he decided not to go on the field in the second half. There is nothing to worry about his fitness.

Gerrard seemed to be delighted with the performance of his team in the match against Moldova. England won the match against Moldova by a huge margin of 5-0. The English team absolutely demolished Moldova in that match. The Moldova players didn’t have any answer of the attacking game of the English team. Gerrard said that it was nice to see the guys playing in full flow. The team went into the match with all guns blazing and the body language of the players was tremendous.

Gerrard said that when you play against a team like Moldova, you tend to get a bit casual at times. But, each and every player gave 100% effort and winning the first match in such a convincing fashion is something fantastic. On being asked about Frank Lampard who netted twice in the match against Moldova, Gerrard said that Lampard is an experienced player and it was nice to see him playing with such intensity after recovering from the injury. He looked in brilliant form and hopefully, he would keep playing with the same kind of energy level in the further matches as well.
