Terry praises starlet Micah

England captain John Terry thinks Micah Richards has what it takes to stay in the squad for years to come.

When asked what he thought of the debutant, Terry said: "Micah did fantastically well. He looked as if he had been playing there for two or three years and full credit to him for that,"

"He has been playing very well for Manchester City but, coming into the England side, there was a lot of pressure on the young lad but he did excellently.

"When these young players come into the squad now, they are so confident and in a nice way, not an arrogant way.

"He is confident in his own ability and he showed that.

"He has created a problem for the boss now. He has cemented his place. He will certainly be in and around the next squad."

He added: "One on one defensively, I don't think anyone got past him,"

"He was also very calm on the ball, didn't really give the ball away, won his headers and against two of the most fantastic wingers in the world, to see Micah coming out on top is very pleasing.

"Robben is a very difficult player to mark but didn't really get around Micah at all. He was different class.

"It is exciting when someone like Micah comes in and does so well.

"It must give other players watching the confidence that they can reach that target and, if they are playing well, they will get their chance."
