Bacray Sagna praises Jack Wilshere’s performance in the International friendly – football news

Bacray Sagna praised his Arsenal’s teammate, Jack Wilshere, after he gave his man of the match performance at the Wembley stadium against Brazil.

The English youngster, who was ruled out of football for whole last season due to injuries, displayed tremendous football skills in the international friendly match against Brazil. He set up the opening goal by giving a through pass to Theo Walcott almost half hour from the start of the match. Julio Cesar blocked the shot but Wayne Rooney netted the goal in the rebound to lead his side 1-0.

Despite levelling the scores in the start of the second half, England remained focused and got the breakthrough in the 60^th minute when Frank Lampard hit the winner. The Arsenal midfielder was the man of the match in his first start under Roy Hodgson after he troubled the Brazil defence with his exceptional passing.

The France international, Sagna reflected about Wilshere’s performance in an interview to the Arsenal Player

“I heard he played well. I texted him and he replied to me and was quite happy. It’s good for him and I’m happy because he totally deserves it. He can deal with pressure. The way he wants to play [is with] power. He doesn’t think too much about his future, how well he will do, and how people will think about him.”

The 21-year-old trained hard to find his form. He was sidelined many times before securing a spot in the first team. The French defender commented further:

“He’s a hard worker and is always first at the training ground. At only 21 years old, that’s not common. Usually young players leave quite early and they come in quite late. Jack is working really hard, on his body first, because he realised he needed to care about himself, and on the pitch as well.”
