England won the U21 UEFA Euro Championship with the outstanding performance of the youngsters. Among them, Anthony Gordon, who played as a striker, scored 2 goals and 1 assist in the tournament, together with the outstanding performance of the whole team, he was voted as the best player of the tournament after the final, and he is the second English player to win the U21 UEFA Euro Championship MVP since Healey in 1984.
Anthony Gordon, who moved to Newcastle from Ewarton in January this year, used to play on the wing but has done well as a striker this term. After winning the award, he said: "I won this individual award thanks to my teammates and the coach, the England team is very unselfish, six to seven players are eligible for this award, which proves that we are a good team.
The last time England won the U21 European Cup was in 1984, and 5 players were involved in the 1986 World Cup. This time, some of the players in this "Champion Lions" team are expected to be promoted to the national team, with James Chalcot's brilliant performance, he has the chance to occupy the No.3 goalkeeper position in the national team in the short term, and Anthony Gordon's style of play which can be used as either a striker or a flanker also has the chance to compete for the position of the arrowhead of the Khalee Kahli's successor.
Other players who have been tipped for promotion include Chelsea midfielder Govier, Nottingham Forest midfielder Kris Kibiswetter, and the only player in the squad who has represented the England national team, Emmy Lowe, who is also a key target for England's team leader, Sean Huskey.
