Walcott: Qualifiers are new start

02 September 2010 17:30
Arsenal forward Theo Walcott is confident the Euro 2012 qualifiers can mark a new start for England. The 21-year-old is back in the international set-up after being left out by Fabio Capello for the World Cup. Walcott - who has scored four goals already for the Gunners this season - feels Friday's clash against Bulgaria at Wembley is the perfect opportunity to put a summer of disappointment behind them. "I believe we are a very good team, I personally think we've got individuals that would get in any team in the world," he said. "As long as we get the result on the pitch on Friday it doesn't matter how we play, getting the three points is the most important thing." The Arsenal forward added: "The manager has got the faith in us, it's up to us to go out there and prove people wrong. He's got me back in the squad which shows he's got faith in me. We want to do it for him because he's our manager and he's got faith in us all."
