Manchester United’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233 has admitted that he is more than happy to start for England and revealed that he isn’t afraid of having the responsibility on his shoulders, to lead the team up front.
Welbeck has been named as England’s starting forward, following Wayne Rooney’s suspension. The twenty one year old has so far been decent for the team and played rather well against France. The young attacker didn’t manage to score a goal in the game, but
he seemed to play like a seasoned veteran, as opposed to a young player, who was coming up the ranks.
Prior to the Euros starting, there was a lot of concern about the forward’s fitness, with a lot of people assuming he might not make the tournament, following an ankle injury that he picked up against Manchester City, way back in April.
The striker also managed to pick up another knock on the same ankle against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 and he admitted that he was afraid that he might have reinjured himself.
"I was worried because it was the same ankle. But I got up and carried on. It's fine now," he told reporters.
At the same time, the youngster revealed that his goal against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belgium-c2850 gave him the belief that he needed to continue playing upfront for the team.
"It gave me a big confidence boost. If it was a tap-in I'd have been happy and obviously it was a friendly, not a competitive match, but it gives you that confidence boost.”
"Now I can't wait to get going out here, knowing if I get an opportunity I can stick it away."
The striker is more than likely going to start for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015, however, it is going to be interesting to see what happens after the game.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 will be eligible to play for the team after the game and this is going to leave Roy Hodgson with a tough decision to make.
However, considering the duo have played together for Manchester United for most of the season, the manager might just end up naming both the players in his starting eleven.
