DBasia.news – England national team manager, Gareth Southgate paid tribute to his two players, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jack Grealish, after a 3-0 friendly match against Wales. According to the manager, the two players showed brilliant performances.

Playing at Wembley Stadium, Southgate made several experiments. A number of starters were stored. Then, several new faces such as Joseph Gomez, Conor Coady, Nick Pope, Michael Keane, Bukayo Saka, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin were given the opportunity to play from the start.

As a result, England wer still able to win against Wales. England’s first goal was scored by Dominic Calvert-Lewin with a header in the 26th minute. The goal was born from an accurate pass from Jack Grealish.

Conor Coady widened England’s lead in the 53rd minute. The defender snatched Kieran Trippier’s free kick.

England’s third goal was born from the acrobatic action of Danny Ings in the 63rd minute. Ings’s overhead kick in front of the goal was unable to be contained by the Wales goalkeeper, Wayne Hennessey.

After the match, Southgate admitted that he was satisfied with the appearance of his players. He was impressed by Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s performance as the spearhead.

“In terms of a successful debut, I think Calvert-Lewin appeared comfortable. He did it all week,” explained Southgate as reported by Sky Sports.

“He doesn’t look nervous from any side. I think, the fact that when he plays well for his club and is at the top of the Premier League, there is no better moment to start. I’m sure there will be a lot of confidence starting tonight.”

“He’s in a good moment. He’s a versatile player. He presses with intelligence. He holds the ball and connects the game.”

Another player who received a positive appraisal from Suthgate was Jack Grealish. The player who was linked with Manchester United is considered to be the motor of attack.

“Jadon Sancho and Raheem Sterling have the ability to dribble and get past people, but Grealish does it differently. He is very comfortable under pressure,” said the manager.

“He is good at taking attacks. However, I kept stressing to him that it is necessary to be in an area of the game that could make a difference and he did that. I am also thrilled.”

The Welsh’s contract victory is England’s positive capital ahead of the match against Belgium in the UEFA Nations League continued match on Sunday (11/10). Currently, The Tree Lions occupies second place in the standings with two points behind Belgium who are at the top.
