England international Darren Bent delighted to score against Wales – Euro 2012 qualifiers
Aston Villa striker and England international http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749’s 2-0 victory over Wales in a Euro 2012 qualifier.
The game was played at Cardiff on Saturday, 26 March, 2011. The striker was all praise for his manager Fabio Capello, who gave him a chance in the starting line-up ahead of Andy Carroll and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jermain-Defoe-c18359.
The former Sunderland forward seemed pretty excited after scoring and mentioned that he was very thankful to his manager who preferred him over the other top strikers. Bent’s goal was his third in the last three appearances for the Three Lions. The striker
also seemed confident of getting more and more chances in England colours.
He said, “This is everything I've been waiting for since I got my first chance in 2005, it's been a long, long wait and finally it has come, and I'm grabbing on to the opportunity with both hands. I don't know about international football getting easy, but
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 showed faith in me, gave me the nod and I'm delighted to have scored.”
The 27-year-old expressed his desire to wear the number 9 shirt for as long as possible and added that he would try his level best to keep on performing the way he did against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041. He hailed the efforts of his manager, the way he has managed the side and
indulged confidence in the squad.
The striker mentioned that he was not even expecting to be a part of the English line-up but was surprised after being told by his manager that he is going to start the game against Wales.
“He told the team I was playing and told me what he wanted from me. I said I'd go out and do that. It's always hard when you play 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there. When you get a run in the side, you have confidence to keep on going,” he said.
Bent made his debut for England against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Uruguay-c3035 in 2006 and since then has emerged 9 times for the Three Lions. He has also scored 3 goals from those appearances.
