Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain insists England will treat Moldova with the same respect they would Brazil when the teams clash this week.

The road to Rio begins on Friday as the Three Lions kick-off their 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign in Chisinau.

And Oxlade-Chamberlain has warned his team-mates to be on their guard against the Moldovans.

He said: "Of course, we will approach the game in the same way whether we are playing Brazil or Moldova.

"We will look to win the game and play it in the right way. I will have to wait and see how it's going to go but it's the international stage and it's tough."

Oxlade-Chamberlain made his major tournament debut for his country at Euro 2012 and says the experience he gained has made him hungry for more.

He added: "I always want to play.

"I didn't think I would be involved as much as I was at the Euros. It was great to learn from the likes of Steven Gerrard and it was a great experience for me.

"When you do start games, you want to keep on playing and if you didn't, there would be something wrong.

"The Manager gives a player like me the freedom to add flair to the game. He puts his trust in us and that's really good as we can express ourselves.

"People possess different qualities and you have to adapt. I have to make sure I am ready if I get the chance.

"We must never rest on our laurels. I have to keep working hard at Arsenal otherwise I will not be back in these squads."
