We won't fear Wembley, say Andorrans

Andorra's part-timers will not be overawed by the prospect of playing at Wembley.

This is Andorra's first game at the national stadium - their only other match in England was at Old Trafford in 2006 - and defender Toni Lima says they will relish the occasion.

"Most of us have played in impressive stadiums so we are used to it," said Lima. "It gives us pride to play at Wembley but it does not frighten us at all. We are experienced and once the match starts we do not even notice the size of the stadium."

When the teams met in Barcelona last September, Andorra kept the score at 0-0 in the first half only to then lose their concentration with Joe Cole striking twice in the space of six minutes.

"We have to improve our play at Wembley and learn from the mistakes we made in the last game - we have to give England more problems," said Andorra manager David Rodrigo.

"They have been made to work hard to get the first goal and that can sometimes make the players feel nervous. There is a big difference between the two teams but we have not got anything to lose. We go to Wembley with hope."
