Caoimhin Kelleher Targets Another Wembley Win As Ireland Face England
Liverpool Goalkeeper Hoping To Repeat Carabao Cup Final Heroics
Caoimhin Kelleher is hoping to repeat his Wembley heroics when the Republic of Ireland face England in a friendly on Thursday night. The Liverpool goalkeeper was the hero in the Carabao Cup final in February, saving two penalties in the shootout to help the Reds beat Chelsea. He is now hoping to have a similar impact for his country.
Kelleher In Confident Mood
Kelleher is in confident mood ahead of the game. He said: "It was an incredible feeling to win the Carabao Cup final at Wembley. It was a special moment for me and for the club. I'm hoping to have a similar experience with Ireland. We're playing against a very good England team, but we're confident that we can get a result."
Kelleher is likely to start in goal for Ireland, ahead of Gavin Bazunu. The 23-year-old has been in excellent form for Liverpool this season, making a number of impressive saves. He will be hoping to continue that form against England.
England Strong Favorites
England will be strong favorites for the game. They are ranked fifth in the world, while Ireland are ranked 37th. However, Kelleher is confident that Ireland can cause an upset.
He said: "We know that England are a very good team, but we're not afraid of them. We're going to give it our all and see what happens. We're confident that we can get a result."
The game will be a good test for Kelleher and his Ireland teammates. It will be a chance for them to show what they can do against one of the best teams in the world. Kelleher will be hoping to play a leading role in helping Ireland to victory.
