Gareth Southgate praised the impact of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jack Grealish after the role of the New England boys in their 3-0 win over Wales.
Calvert-Lewin, who has already scored six goals in four Premier League games this season, made his England debut off to a perfect start as he met a Grealish cross to open the scoring after 26 minutes, while the captain of the Aston Villa was a lead for most of the game and shone especially when he moved into a free role before the break.
“In terms of debuts made, I thought [Calvert-Lewin] It looked a lot like home, “Southgate said after the game.” Frankly, he’s been doing it all week.

“He doesn’t look nervous in any way. I think the fact that he’s playing well for his club, they’re the best in the league, there couldn’t be a better time to bring him to set-up. He will, I” I’m sure that I am very confident tonight.
“He’s in such a good time, his complete game was excellent. He pushed intelligently, held the ball high and hit the game. He won the flick-ons for every long ball, which we should have used a little more, and the goal is which sends the center forwards home very happy. “

Southgate revealed that he had spoken with Grealish about going into areas like the one from which he provided the Calvert-Lewin opener, and said the 25-year-old can offer something different to other England inside forwards like Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho. , who both missed Thursday’s game.

“Jadon and Raheem have the ability to dribble and hit people, but he does it in a different way,” he said. “He’s very comfortable receiving under pressure, I think the area that he got into for the goal he created is where he should aim to be more regularly.
“You want a player of his ability in and around that last third as much as you can. He’s good getting deep, but I keep emphasizing to him that these are the areas of the game where he can make a difference, and he did that tonight. I’m very happy for him. “

Giggs: Moore’s injury is a ‘blow’
Kieffer Moore had proven to be a dangerous focal point for Wales before being forced to withdraw five minutes before half-time as he was unable to shake off the ill effects of a collision with England goalkeeper Nick Pope.
Wales coach Ryan Giggs is concerned about the Cardiff forward’s hopes of playing Ireland and Bulgaria next week in his country’s Nations League double-game.
“We won’t know until we get a scan of how he’s doing,” Giggs revealed. “I thought he was a handful tonight, a real threat. The game changed with the goal, and when Kieffer left, we lost that goal.
An injury to Welsh forward Kieffer Moore caused him to retire before the break, and his absence would be a potential blow after scoring three goals in his first eight international matches.
“Also in set pieces, where we conceded two bad goals, he is a big part of that, defending set pieces. So it’s a hit, but we also have other options.”
Despite Wales losing their first defeat in 15 months, Giggs highlighted his satisfaction with how his team had started at Wembley, with Wales by far the best team before England’s first goal.
“There were a lot of good things. We started the game very well, and the things that we worked on, we did well,” he said.
“The pressure was good and we had confidence in the ball, which has to be done against quality teams. Later, we learned that if you turn off or give away bad goals, they will punish you. Against smaller teams, you may get away with it. Against good teams with quality, you won’t get away with it.

“The first goal was disappointing because it was soft and then the set pieces after that, where we are usually very strong, but we just fell asleep.”
Giggs also confirmed that Aaron Ramsey, who missed Thursday’s friendly due to a Juventus staff member testing positive for coronavirus, would be part of his team to face the Republic of Ireland in Dublin on Sunday.
