Steven Gerrard has come out and advised the English national team fans not to descend into panic mode if the Three Lions succumb to a defeat at the hands of the French national team in the opening match of their EURO 2012 campaign
as they will still have two matches to recover...
The Liverpool talisman and now the English national team captain Steven Gerrard is taking a pragmatic approach to England’s opening tie for the European championships.
In his latest interview, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 midfielder accepted the possibility that England might lose to France but he maintained that the Three Lions fans should not feel dejected after the defeat but in fact they should cling onto
hope as there will still be two matches left in the group stages. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 standing in their way with the likes of Benzema and M’Villa ready to inflict damage on the
English back line.
With a squad that is already eroded due to injuries, England face further uncertainty due to Rooney’s suspension which is set to keep him out of their opening three matches. Gerrard and his team mates will look towards some of
their young guns such as Henderson and Andy Carroll along with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Welbeck to work their magic and perhaps make a lasting impact in doing so at the international stage.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196 said, "It's the first game. It's not the end of the world whichever way it goes. It is important we don't get carried away thinking we are going to win the tournament if we win and don't commit suicide if we lose
because there will still be two games to recover."
Roy Hodgson expanded on his thoughts as he added, "You didn't actually need to remind me. That has crossed my mind on one or two occasions. It's a fact of life. But I think before the very good French period we could have levelled
a similar accusation against them. It was a facetious question but there was a little element of truth in what he (Gerrard) was saying.”
