http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Bent-c10358 has come out and stated that he feels as if he is on trial whenever he takes the field for the English national team. Bent who has been in and out of Capello’s first team line up as well as the overall squad has been
selected for England’s upcoming friendly match against the Spanish national team. It will be a good test for England before next summer’s European Championships as Spain are the world champions at the moment and playing some outstanding football whereas England
on the other hand are hardly firing on all cylinders.
England will be missing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 who is set to miss out due to his suspension as well as Capello’s reluctance to select him for this friendly encounter in question. Rooney’s place up front is thus up for grabs for this friendly
match but also for the first three matches of the European Championships next summer in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 and if Bent impresses against Spain, he might get the nod ahead of other possible candidates come 2012.
Capello has shown confidence in the past in the Aston Villa striker but Bent’s inability to link up play between midfield and attack has been his downfall but the former Tottenham goal scorer has shown that he is best inside the
penalty area sniffing out chances and putting them to bed. Bent said in his latest interview before the match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, “Every time you play for your country it is like you are on trial, to be honest. If I get selected, hopefully I'll do myself justice
and hang onto the shirt. I've got a few goals recently for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 but this is going up another gear.
He added, “Spain are the best team in the world, who won the last World Cup and the Euros. They've got players out of this world and it will be a great game to be involved in. It would be great to play against someone like Spain
and prove you can handle yourself at that level.” England will hope to surprise the European as well as the World Champions with emphatic display of football at Wembley stadium but the Iberian giants are favourites to win this encounter in question due to
their outstanding run of form at the moment.
