England striker Darren Bent was happy to repay Fabio Capello’s faith with a goal after admitting he did not expect to start against Wales.<\/p>\n
England returned to the top of |European Championship Qualifying Group G courtesy of Saturday’s comfortable 2-0 win at the Millennium Stadium which was secured by early goals from Frank Lampard and Bent.<\/p>\n
Aston Villa striker Bent was chosen to spearhead Fabio Capello’s new 4-3-3 system, but he had been largely overlooked in the media in the build-up to the game.<\/p>\n
Andy Carroll had been tipped to start alongside Wayne Rooney, while Jermain Defoe was also put forward as a more likely candidate to start.<\/p>\n
However, after netting his third goal in three games for England, Bent is determined to grasp his opportunity to stay in the team.<\/p>\n
“This is everything I’ve been waiting for since I got my first chance in 2005,” said Bent.<\/p>\n
“It’s been a long, long wait and finally it has come, and I’m grabbing on to the opportunity with both hands.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know about international football getting easy, but Fabio showed faith in me, gave me the nod and I’m delighted to have scored.<\/p>\n
“There was a lot of speculation saying it wasn’t going to be me starting, but Andy Carroll or Jermain Defoe, and I kind of expected not to be playing.<\/p>\n
“But the manager has picked me, stuck by me and I’ve repaid that with a goal.<\/p>\n
“He told the team I was playing and told me what he wanted from me. I said I’d go out and do that.<\/p>\n
“It’s always hard when you play 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there. When you get a run in the side, you have confidence to keep on going.<\/p>\n
“I want to be the No.9 for as long as possible. There are a lot of top strikers around but, hopefully, Fabio will keep picking me and I will keep producing the goods.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
