An opportunity
With Sturridge keen to make an impression and push for a place in the team that will be heading to Euro 2016, Liverpool striker must also use the opportunity to prove his worth.
Daniel Sturridge has so far made only seven Premier League appearances for Liverpool, but he has made an instant impact to the squad by adding flair along his four goals in Liverpool shirt over the past couple of weeks.
Heading into the 2014 World Cup in Brazil as Roy Hodgson’s first-choice striker, Daniel Sturridge now has stiff competition in the likes of emerging duo of Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy in England’s squad.
Kane and Vardy both struck for England in their impressive come-from-behind victory over Germany, thus extending their incredible club form and will it will be difficult to push the Premier League top strikers out of the squad.
Seemingly up to speed and up for that challenge, Daniel Sturridge will lack no motivation to fight for his place in the fold as the 2016 European Championship finals could might as well be one of his last chances to get his career back on track.
Eager to remind Roy Hodgson of his ability, Liverpool striker will want to send a clear message.
He was a potent force alongside Luis Suarez when he scored 39 goals in 49 Premier League starts and that is exactly the kind of a player Daniel Sturridge will be looking to be against the Netherlands.
England are standing at tonight and continue their impressive form from the Euro 2016 qualifiers.
Future
Behind Daniel’s smile there lies a hidden wish to prove his worth.
Sturridge has been the talk of the town lately and the 26-year-old has been splitting opinions among Liverpool fans.
His future at the club has been uncertain with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly ready to offer £50 million to sign the England striker during the summer transfer window, but his international future shares the same faith with Sturridge facing an uphill battle to force his way into the England Euro 2016 squad.
When talking about quality, Daniel Sturridge is definitely the same player he had been before.
Impressive ability to manipulate ball, striking footwork and close ball control in tight situations are all the aspects of his game that appeal to Roy Hodgson.
Remarkable acceleration and attacking ability make Sturridge a lethal force upfront and England manager will have a tough choice when it comes to choosing his striking line for the Euros.
Should Roy choose Daniel?
