Arsenal forward Theo Walcott declares the
competition among the players for selection of the England squad is good.
Walcott wants to establish himself again under Roy Hodgson after a long wait of
18 months by earning No. 37 cap of England. The 26-year-old got an anterior
cruciate ligament injury in 2014 and made just two Arsenal appearances and then
a groin injury obstructed his return but now he is desperately waiting to play
for England team after recovery. Walcott said that there is always a tough
competition and competition is always healty because they want as a nation that
all the players should play well. He added he is playing from 17 and got
through it now and then and still he wants to improve.
Arsenal striker further said competition makes you a
better player and you need to prove yourself. He said he was out for a long
term due to injury but he returned. The striker explained many people would not
have worked hard as he did to get the shirt back, so he is very happy. Walcott
appeared in 4-0 win against Lithuania after such a long time that he did not
even remember his last game. He said he cannot remember the last time he played
and it was perhaps against Scotland when he scored. The 26-year-old said he has
worked hard to get back and he wants to get more of it as he has tasted it.
