November 17-the World Cup in Qatar will officially begin next week. In a recent interview, English football star Steven Gerrard talked about the prospects of his home country England in this World Cup, and the Reds star also gave his own views.
Gerrard said: “Yes, I think England is one of the four or five favourites to win this World Cup.” This is not a wrong statement, nor a hope, but a fact. I have seen the development of this team and they have increased their experience in the big games than before. On the whole, this team is very good and in my opinion, they will be the best for England in the near future. ”
“I also think that other teams have not necessarily become stronger over the years; as we develop and the players grow, England is getting better and better. We know they didn’t do well in the Europa League, but it doesn’t matter, they just haven’t been at their best in the last few games, but it’s different in the World Cup. ”
“in the group of the World Cup, I have enough games and time to give us confidence and faith. I believe anything can happen from there. So we should give them confidence that they are fully capable of achieving their goals. ”
England and Iran, Wales and the United States are in Group B of the World Cup in Qatar. They will play Iran in the opening match of the World Cup at 21:00 Beijing time on November 21.
