England will secure a seat at the World Cup`s 2018 Olympics if the team defeats Panama in Nizhny Novgorod tomorrow, and manager Gareth Southgate is optimistic that his alumni will face all the difficulties and will make it to success.
The islanders started in Group G with a 2:1 tricky over Tunisia with Harry Kain`s late winning goal in the added time. The hot weather and temperature forecasts from partners with combo predictions of over 30 degrees do not worry about Southgate, although it is believed that this will give some advantage to Central Americans who are used to similar conditions.
`It`s hot and I think we will adapt, and I do not think it`s an advantage, and we all think Panama is an outsider, but at this world championship we`ve already seen how hard it can be for the big teams against the so-called outsiders. No one defeats himself, we take our opponent seriously, and for a moment we have not allowed ourselves to play in preparation for the upcoming match.'
'Definitely the situation in the group is favorable for us, but we certainly have to play concentrated and with maximum motivation. We want to show people that England can play in a different way. We have technical footballers, we want them to get the ball more often and show off their skills on the pitch. We will attack from the first minute and we are ready to look for the victory to the end!', Southgate commented.
