"You can't get much better preparation than playing Brazil for the Estonia game so it was good from that respect," said the Liverpool vice-captain.
"The thing is nobody we play will be as strong as Brazil so if we can replicate our performance against them on Wednesday then that should be enough.
"We will be playing for England. It's about playing for yourself, the manager and the country itself. There's always pressure when you play for England in one of these big games but that's what it's all about.
"There's no point shrinking from it. It's inevitable but if we produce another decent performance then there's no reason why we shouldn't get the three points."
