Guéhi: Pressure all on Argentina | OneFootball

Marc Guéhi says England are unfazed about facing world champions Argentina this evening

The Three Lions are looking to reach the World Cup final for the first time in 60 years against the South Americans.

But City defender Guéhi says the England players aren’t feeling any pressure ahead of what is a huge game.

On the contrary – he believes it is the Argentines who will feel the weight of expectation.

“There isn’t pressure on us,” Guéhi said. “What’s the pressure? The onus is on them.

“They’re the World Champions. They need to come out; they need to defend their title. There’s no pressure on us at all.

“Everyone is excited, to be honest. The occasion, big players, everyone’s relishing the opportunity against them and looking forward to it.”

And while Guéhi admits he admires Lionel Messi, he says nullifying the Argentina forward would go a long way to helping England win – though there will threats all over the pitch.

“He is a great player, probably one of the best, so we’re going to try and do our best [to stop him],” Guéhi said.

“But it’s not just him on the field. You’ve got other really good players on the team, but it’s important that we stay as focused as possible on ourselves and execute our game plan.”
