Michael Bradley not planning to prepare any differently for Slovenia

USA midfielder Michael Bradley is adamant he and the rest of the squad will not prepare any differently for Slovenia to how they did for England.

Ahead of Friday's clash with the Slovenians, Borussia Monchengladbach's Bradley said nothing will be changed in the lead-up and also gave some insight into key players from the opposition who he has experience playing against.

"No, it won't differ. I think we have a routine and a way of doing things that has been pretty standard since we've been a team. We're excited for the game, we know it's a big game. It's why you play," Bradley said of the preparations.

As for the opposition: "Up front, guys like Novakovic and Dedic both play in the Bundesliga. Both have certainly gotten their goals in Germany. Robert Koren's a good player, the defenders are all strong and solid players and the goalie plays at Udinese. He's got a presence and is a good shot blocker," he added.
