England captain Steven Gerrard has insisted that his side will be ‘raring to go’ when they take on Italy at the World Cup.
The Three Lions got their preparations underway on Friday night, beating Peru 3-0 at Wembley.
But despite a slightly lacklustre performance, the Liverpool midfielder has claimed that his men will peak in time for the clash with the Azzurri in Manaus on June 14.
“The important thing is we are ready to peak in 10 days' time,” he told the BBC.
“Against Italy we'll be raring to go.
“Hopefully we'll give a top performance and I am confident we can do that.”
