Agen MaxbeT  -    Roy Hodgson insists he is not ‘deluded’ by England’s perfect-so-far Euro qualifying campaign – and expects flaws in his young side to be exposed in their upcoming friendlies.

The Three Lions host Estonia on Friday then visit Lithuania on Monday, hoping to complete a ten-out-of-ten qualifying campaign – but manager Hodgson says friendlies against European 

 champions Spain and Euro 2016 hosts France next month and World Cup holders Germany in March could prove a major wake-up call.

Hodgson, who will give Tottenham striker Harry Kane his first competitive international start in the Wembley dead rubber, said: “We’ve got an awful lot of work to do against good quality opposition who will test us out to the ultimate extent.

“It will maybe bring out some flaws in our game that we don’t always see in some of the games we play. But we’re ready for that. 

"We’re not deluding ourselves.

Bandar Judi Online MaxbeT  -   “We can be rightly proud of the achievements since the World Cup. We don’t need to hide our light under the bush in that respect, but we know there are big games ahead.

“I’m pleased the friendly games can be matches we can lose, which might see us sink even further down the rankings, rather than wins against teams which won’t teach us everything we need to learn.

“You must remember we are putting an awful lot of responsibility on the shoulders of young men: Chris Smalling, Harry Kane, Jonjo Shelvey ... 

very exciting players, but they are going to need these games to get a real taste of what we need to be like if we are ever going to be successful in a major tournament.

“We’ll be playing teams who have been together for a long time, like Germany. Experienced, talented. Spain the same, and France and Holland not too far off.

“If we can put in good performances in those four games, that’ll give us heart. If we don’t, we’ll have to start addressing some of the issues that come from them.”
