Steven Gerrard praises "exciting" Germany

England captain Steven Gerrard has praised Germany for their "exciting" brand of football ahead of Tuesday's friendly between the teams.

The Three Lions, who were beaten 2-0 by Chile on Friday, welcome their old rivals to Wembley Stadium for an international friendly.

Gerrard believes that the Germans have an abundance of talent in their squad and will prove tough opponents in London tomorrow as both sides prepare for next year's World Cup.

"They have got a group of exciting, attacking players who people like watching," he told reporters.

"Their second players are all top-drawer Champions League players. They have two great players in every position."

Gerrard has been named in the England starting lineup for the match by manager Roy Hodgson.
