England midfielder Frank Lampard is looking forward to the extremely anticipated friendly clash against Spain on Saturday. It will be an acid test for Fabio Capello's men as they come up against the reigning world and European champions at Wembley. But Lampard, who has silenced his critics with an inspiring run of form for Chelsea, cannot wait to face the Spaniards."Spain is a great team with so many great players. So the skill of taking them on at Wembley will be fantastic for us," the 33-year-old was quoted.
"It will be a terrific test against such a quality side and such brilliant individuals."But if we can put in a top performance - as I'm sure we can - it can give us a real boost for what's in store at the European Championship finals next summer."Asked if the racist row saga concerning John Terry will affect the Three Lions, Lampard just brushed it off."You have to get used to off-field situations like this - it comes with the country of playing for a top club like Chelsea and representing England.
"What you need to do is trying and keeps out of anything controversy it is. You must remember it's what matters on the pitch that's the most significant."That's what most people react to and that's what I will keep trying to do for club and country."Lampard also reiterated his want to play for England for as long as he can. He stressed: "England will always matter so much to me. I love playing for my country, I always have done."It doesn't matter if I'm on the bench or in the squad. I will always be there if selected."Lampard has 89 caps and 22 goals for England.
