Cresswell ready to achieve ultimate ambition
And Cresswell immediately put his ultimate ambition on the line saying: “The main aim for me is to play well this season and go to the World Cup.
“It’s an ambition of every footballer to go to the best tournament in the world, so hopefully I can have a good year and we’ll see where we are come the end of the season.
“For me, playing for your country is the pinnacle of your career. It’s nice to be involved in games like we’ve had recently and play in stadiums like Wembley and the Stade de France. I’m delighted that we won the two games and with the experience of being part of it.”
Gareth Southgate’s side need just a point from their home Group F tie with Slovenia at Wembley Stadium on Thursday 5 October to secure their place in Russia.
Should they fail to draw with the Slovenians, a point from their final fixture with Lithuania in Vilnius on Sunday 8 October would suffice.
