Sturridge: No pressure on young England

Daniel Sturridge seems confident going into the Euros.

He says that England’s young squad is an advantage - and that there is no pressure on Hodgson’s team.

He said: “Competition is fierce at every club you play at as well as at international level. So for me I’m used to it, I thrive off it and I love it.

everyone is here to concentrate on England and not on the speculation.

“It’s probably a bit more relaxed than before. The group is younger. We’re just ready to go. It feels different.

“I think there’s a togetherness around the camp and at the hotel. it’s great to be a part of it. We’re preparing well.

“You go back years to Manchester United and Liverpool sides and all the clubs that have had young squads and have been successful.

“I don’t see why we can’t be successful because we’re young, I don’t think age has anything to do with it, it’s how we play as a team.

“We know what we have to do. We know that there’s going to be a lot of eyes on us because we’re England. I don’t feel there is any pressure on us. I feel like we will enjoy the occasion.
